    Why? Because it creates a separate entity. If you where to hypothetically clone yourself, should you be responsible for the actions of the clone? Perhaps more directly, assuming you work for someone, should the owner of whatever place your work for be personally/individually responsible for your actions?

    That separation is created because otherwise nobody would ever employ anyone if their employee’s actions could get them sued personally.
