Being incorporated gives you some protections when signing with a label. The corporation faces the label and would otherwise be invisible to the public unless they go looking. I’d say any smart band that signs with a label is incorporated in some capacity.
Most bands are incorporated for technical reasons, but your point still stands.
Most? Only the biggest bands ever consider this. I’d wager 90%+ of bands are not incorporated.
