Of course GDPR does not require that. It doesn't say anything about
what we should do with legal persons. So as far as GDPR is concerned,
there's no problem in affording legal persons same protection as
natural ones.

In practice the implication is that GDPR protection is required when
in doubt. That is, only known-to-be-legal persons can be excluded.

So we should not look for criteria for natural persons but for legal
ones and treat all domain holders as natural persons until proven
otherwise.
