Perhaps one can replace the legal contracts involved in this with algorithms to achieve the necessary scale.

So, make it a law that if you hire a person they'd have a stake in a company automatically?

No one is stopping anyone to create worker cooperatives.

Indeed. Worker cooperatives don't often take off because they're a bad idea. A company going under can be devastating for your career. If you have a significant stake in your company, you'll be broke as well as unemployed. People should diversify whenever they can and forcing people to hold a stake in their companies is a terrible idea.
