I'm 100% with you here.

People who need access to the UBO (for example because they are required, by law, to do KYC/AML on their customers) can still access it.

It's about restricting public access.

Very little verification of UBO registers ever actually occurs. Which is why "oligarchs" have nominees and having to lie on another government form doesn't make a difference.
