none of the countries shown in red have the exact same laws around lobbying
Yet they all share one economic system: capitalism, and none of them manufactures 95% of the solar photovoltaic modules on the planet. The point of the post is not the specificity of the definition of lobbying, it’s that corruption is rampant over here in the red area, just not declared so. An example would be policitians directing policy based on metrics such as S&P500 growth, which isn’t lobbying by any definition of the word but has a strong case of definition of corruption.
