> Not everywhere in the world do companies count as people

Actually yes, everywhere in the world. That has a functioning legal system, at least.

If companies weren't treated as legal persons, they wouldn't be able to enter into contracts.

But also, just to be clear, a legal person, like a corporation, is not a natural person. Unlike a natural person, they can't vote. There isn't anywhere in the world that considers corporations to be natural persons.
