How would these currencies be backed? Who would back them? How does a company operate a currency as a for profit business?

It would be a headache beyond belief.
That's why we do NEED govt.

But just as you said earlier...the govt. has grown incrementally over the last two centuries and now is so big and overreaching and so bloated with bureaucrats and administrative crap that it's out of control.
