It's absolutely nitpicking. The "G" just stands for governance, otherwise it'd be a "C". On an individual level that could mean paying taxes on time, maintaining employment, etc.

Functionally, ESG _already is_ a social credit score for companies and a tool for compliance. Do you think companies are taking ESG measures because they want to?

That’s not at all what governance means in the corporate context.
So you’re basically saying that ESG can be applied to individuals as long as you redefine it to something completely else.
As far as companies getting rated, well duh, there’s a giant industry around that. Companies don’t have civil liberties and they don’t have the right to receive investments from anyone who doesn’t choose to invest.
