Unused Standard Object - advice needed

Hi guys!
Need your advice on the use of Standard objects.

Context:
in my usecase, there’s no need for the Company Standard Object. For the context, it’s a B2C business and Opportunities are created directly against individual Customers, which is a Custom object in my current schema. So I wanted to remove the Company from the schema to keep things clean.

Using the app UI (Settings → Data Model), I have deactivated the Company object, and also deactivated that object in the Opportunities . However, the Data Model Overview still shows the Company and its relation to Opportunities.

How should I proceed here?
1. Leave the Company standard Object in the schema and ignore it;
2. Repurpose one of the custom objects to “fit” into the standard Company object. Not ideal from the perspective of the naming conventions: for example, Companies table would effectively be a table representing individual Customers;
3. Remove the Company standard Object - not sure if that’s even possible or advisable.
