This exemplifies a transition from "strawman argument" to "strawman dressed as a clown argument".

What's the salient difference between hiring a worker to help your business, and thereby being entitled to a share of your business, and hiring a worker to do some work on your house, and thereby being entitled to a share of it?

Very good point, you would have to make the decision yourself whether to offer shares for what type and length of service.
And if so it could be considered a (very) generous decision more often than not.

Hiring a worker to do some work on your house is a transaction
Hiring a worker to help your business is employment
I'm sure I don't have to explain the differences between a transaction and employment?
If you hire a landscaper to redo the landscaping of your property, is he thereby entitled to own a share of your property? How about the guy you hired to fix your water heater? Does he get a share, too? Is that natural?
