It's more of a jab at Illinois (that state seems to have more than its fair share of known corruption issues) than government in general. "If it had been the state of Illinois versus say Apple, would you say the same thing?" Yes.
Some Government regulations are in fact reasonable, even a libertarian such as myself can concede that.
Someone else pointed out that Square doesn't really hold funds, they transfer them. (I haven't verified this statement.) Even if this is true... they still have access to a lot of people's funds and could very easily steal them.
Your other points are also spot on.
UPDATE: I was a little surprised myself that the net karma score for the parent comment was positive.
UPDATE 2: "I don't even understand the motivations behind posts like this." To be a little snarky I guess and to raise eyebrows and questions. At face value, little value is added by the comment... until someone replied and added to the discussion.
