Can either one of you explain what possible difference it makes
whether the rest of us consider the RIRs a business? We all agree that
the RIRs have no shareholders and thus are not engaged in maximizing
their shareholders' value.

The RIRs are legal not-for-profit cooperations with a clear not-for-profit mandate. Period.

Government and Private enterprise are two different entities.

I don't follow your reasoning here. Are you trying to say that you
think the RIRs are government?
