The concern is about categories, not magnitudes, though.
A better analogy would be a certain tax rate for "cars" and another lower one for "trucks" so as to not harm blue collar small businesses. We would start seeing more personal vehicles designed to be "trucks" even if they weren't used for large hauls or some sort of business purpose.
And, of course, we already see exactly that happen to car designs.
The argument is that the incentives are there to follow the letter of the law and abuse the spirit, putting less onerous personalities at a disadvantage.

Nobody should feel obligated to use Twitter. You can't just decide to create an alternative tax system, but you're definitely free to build your own microblogging / social network.
