A state has coercive power over you, a company doesn't. From my point of view, the government can do (and does) 100 more damage to me than any single company could do. A company can sell my personal data if I'm not careful. The state can send me to jail for saying things they don't like or doing things they don't like, even when those things don't do any harm to other people (e.g. using LSD). The state also steals a big portion of people's money, usually for no good reason.
