Only in your binary view...

No, in reality. For one thing activities that you do by yourself are (at least assuming you aren't talking about them) even more private than any social activity. Sure business activities are not by yourself (you can produce by yourself, but at some point someone else is going to have to pay for it, even if at a far remove, or you won't have much of a business), but can be as private as any other form of interaction with others.

And the law controls a lot of what goes on in business.

And the aspects that the law controls should be treated equally under the law. The law shouldn't impose different requirements based on say race.

But the law goes far beyond such equal protection, and race neutral enforcement, it mandates private actions provide for equal treatment. You can argue that its good that it does this, but good or not this isn't about equal protection under the law.
