I don't really get the problem here, either you're going there privately, because you're interested in the topic, and pay the lower amount. Or you go there as a business trip and pay the higher amount. Why would they allow you to go there as a business while paying the lower amount, just because your business is only yourself?

They think they don't need to pay taxes. I cannot think of any other reason for this rant. I guess it's refreshing to have a libertarian kind of ethos in the Rust community in addition to the typical quite-far-left-of-center kind.

I totally get it. When you get into the flow of routing expenses through your business, it feels extra bad when you're disallowed doing that.
