I don't see what politics has to do with it.

The political process determines how we will treat different types of relationships and interactions.

It is obvious that when you are engaging in business transactions you are not in a social situation let alone in a private one.

Social is irrelevant to private.

Commerce may be private enterprise

Exactly.

but it's riddled with law.

Bringing us back to "As for the distinction between private business and private non-business, I think the political culture in our country has made entirely too much of it."

I don't get that, either. It's equal treatment under law, not by the government.

Equal treatment under the law is equal treatment by the law, and by what the law controls. Its not even "equal treatment under the law" its "equal protection of the law", at least if your talking about what's in the constitution.
