I think an average individual is more likely to buckle under government pressure, they might not have the resources to fight compared with a well-financed company.

an individual will easily shut down their node without any problem and there is nothing the government could do to force them to remain on. a company on the other hand can be pressured to keep their node online and comply with their demands to start recording and reporting everything.
additionally the individual can leak that demand on the internet and warn people while the company can be legally forced to keep it a secret.
