Otherwise, you could have a company pay for private individuals for the service of lobbying on their behalf and essentially have no cap or regulation.

Or how about this: lobbying should be tightly regulated so that nobody has the amount of influence that corporations currently have.

And if we decide they have too much influence in politics, it gives us a lever to pull to reign them in.

That is never going to happen, because they have too much influence in politics.
