> A business with no physical location is not practical in society.

That's an opinion, and my point is that I do not hold that opinion. It's only not practical because we make it impractical, not because any benefit is gained by forcing people to jump through hoops to set up and pay for virtual addresses.

The ability to compel someone to appear and answer for crimes committee by a business is a huge benefit. So is ensuring local businesses aren't undercut by businesses who claim no jurisdiction.
But that doesn't require an address. My filing with the Secretary of State in the state where I incorporate could just include a selection of which jurisdiction's laws I operate under. That's effectively what it is already, since I can choose where to have my virtual address. This would just cut out the gouging for a virtual address.
