This ignores the fact that nothing is stopping someone from suing you personally today, small business owner or not.

There are two types of people who sue:

- rational actors who have acted in good faith, exhausted all avenues of recourse, and feel like the courts are their only hope for some sort of resolution.

- irrational actors who sue for weird personal reasons, can’t be reasoned with, refuse all attempts to come to a reasonable settlement, etc.

You definitely want the first type of person as a customer.

Again, nothing is stopping anyone from suing you personally right now.

Not everyone lives in a litigious society like the US. Here in Europe if you try to sue an employee for work related stuff you'll be dismissed pretty quickly on the grounds that you need to be suing the company instead.
