> Worker representation on boards is one example. Imagine if the board of public companies was 50% shareholders and 50% workers.

Sure, that is an interesting option. But what about Discord, since it is not public? Does anyone that starts a business have to give half of the decision making power to workers from day 1?

I cannot parse the concept you are trying to explain in your second paragraph.

It could be mandated by law, indeed. Or the shareholding model could be outright removed because it's poison for society as a whole, as the history of workers/consumers coops shows.
