The article referenced conflates public companies and private ones. Public companies do have liability restrictions, but notably (in the U.S.) ownership is explicitly reported. LLC’s are private companies, but in many states their ownership can be masked or wholly secret.

In my experience masking ownership or allowing secret ownership of LLC’s is a net loss for society as a whole. There is a large surface area where ownership is not being masked for a good reason, but is being done as deliberate deception.
