    I have read that the actuality includes a loophole you didn’t speak of:

    Once someoen owns shares, they can privately-sell them, or give them away, or will them to someone…

    Once enough people have done this, the “private” company becomes actually publically-traded, though not on any exchange…

    …creating some legal difficulties, re regulations.

    From that bit, which I never would have known to even consider ( some article I read, some years ago ), then it looks like people can sell their shares to another private-individual.

    Maybe some jurisdictions prohibit that.

    I don’t know, I’m just identifying an angle people apparently haven’t commonly considered.
