Every company should be owned by its employees

Well if you don't allow the traditional company governance and everything must be a cooperative - then these employees cannot choose a traditional company governance.

But my comment really was about restricting the choice of a potential employee - someone who has not yet decided what company to join.

This is similar to arguing in favour of the existence of dictatorships, as not having them restricts the choices of what kind of society people can choose to move to. The point is that in a democracy, at least in principle, people can choose their "boss", and discarding this has bigger implications for everyday freedoms.

The difference between a state and a company is that it is much more difficult to change the first.
