Everyone’s their own Sole Proprietorship?

I asked someone at Anthropic about it and it turned out to be a stale page, it’s updated now and says:

“Yes, individuals and hobbyists are welcome to use the Anthropic API.”

Huh! That's a surprise. Especially as OpenAI has no problem with it.

I’m going to out myself, but you just do it anyway…
