Coops are indeed a way for the workers to own the MOP in a local way under capitalism. However, the "dearth of these arrangements" being necessarily due to the "non-worker challenges of running a business" is an assertion - there could be other reasons.

Your rebuttal is correct in that this is a potential state of affairs under a Soviet-style Marxist-Leninist government. However, under a democratic socialist government, the state would not act this way because the people would not willfully put themselves in poverty.

Scientific hypotheses can not be proven
A hypothesis being "proven true" is not the goal of the scientific method; the scientific method helps us to find out whether or not a hypothesis approximates the truth closely enough for us to make decisions based on it. To quote George Box: "All models are wrong, but some models are useful."

Sharia law should be banned from democratic countries
A democratic society (especially one with a significant Muslim population) may decide to enact some or all of the ideas in Sharia law by democratic means. As long as the will to enact such a law comes from the people, doing so does not contradict democratic ideals.
