Hiding domain owner information

Hiding domain owner information in this way makes no sense.

If you are using a *.uk domain for personal use, then you always could easily request that your contact details not be listed in whois.

If you are using a *.uk domain for business purposes, then doesn't company (charity, etc) law require that the organisation publishes its real contact address on the website in any case?

(I suppose there might be some corner cases that might fall between the two categories, such as community groups, which might "operate" c/o somebody's front room, and where it still might not be particularly desirable to publish someone's home address to all and sundry, but I would have thought that there would/should be legitimate ways around this for those cases?)
