They are not the same, if you are not interested in carrying members of the public then perhaps you can get yourself an RAA aircraft. There is a reason why so many hours are flown every year in all sorts of conditions in certified aircraft that are safer than the driving the trip to the airport.
Your comment is about as insane as saying a vintage car, Gato XUV, and a taxi are basically the same as they have 4 wheels.
