Yes, but ordinary people earn their income from wages, which are always taxed before they can be put into any LLC.
Thus they will end up severely disadvantaged in competition with actual companies for ownership of housing and land.

I think the advantage of corporations over individuals is their ability to more easily raise capital. If an individual is making high levels of income, it’s likely they are already deferring and rerouting income into tax advantaged mechanisms. Kind of like a partner in a high value partnership. But I don’t imagine an individual directly funding a billion dollars through their income. The issue with individuals is that they just aren’t likely to use earned income as the source for these investments. If it were me and I wanted to say invest $1M in rental properties. I would form an LLC and take out a bit loan in the LLC’s name backed by my personal assets as collateral. Then I’d buy property using the loan and collect all income into the LLC to pay the loan and invest in new properties over time. The taxes on my personal income don’t really factor into it.
