This is not how dual licensing works. If you offer two licenses I get to pick. And I pick MIT which allows me to use it commercially.
If you disagree, then it's not MIT but some custom license, so don't label it as such.
This isn't about demanding you let companies use your code. This is about what you are calling that license. It is not the MIT license and it is wrong to lie to people by calling it the MIT license. You should give it a name like "The bizcards license" or whatever.
IANAL but you also might want to consult a lawyer since your franken-license contradicts itself. It might be hard to challenge a company in court when they steal your code.
Your lawyer will explain to you that what you wanted, and what your license terms actually mean, are two different things. There are noncommercial users who have downloaded your software and are using it under the terms of the MIT license. You already gave them permission. Now, they can give copies to commercial users, who can use it under the terms of the MIT license. Your lawyer will explain this to you.
What the license allows for is very clear
I publish many things without dual licensing and yet your kind will not be satisfied
