I immediately noticed this as well. In many cases, they weren't even LLCs, just names.

Maybe my memory is hazy from that period, but I don't recall the clear call to action to request five-figure loans as an individual, (almost) all of which appear forgiven.

I looked for my family's businesses and other old friends and didn't find any of them. Texted my parents about this and they sound as surprised as me, and they have had a small local business for about a decade before Covid. My mom wasn't even aware that they would be eligible. And yet I see individuals, and others in my hometown whose businesses consist of only them and possibly one other person (likely part-time) made out with tens of thousands of dollars, all forgiven. Self-employed and sole proprietorships even. One family who I was always suspicious about how they always had whatever disposable money was needed for anything (the primary income was a local vending machine business) got $187k in this, according to this site. All forgiven.
