All this assumes that you can easily be within a secure, transparent and resource-full environment where your view of cooperation is sufficient.
As soon as threats arise or resource lack for "mutual benefits" to exists for everyone, or some rumors and lies become popular, your view of cooperation can rapidly turn into unilateral coercition or abuse. (Do you think a whining child, a gun-holding policeman, a flaterring politician or a clever advertiser rely on your ideas to interact with you?)
I think that's the basic problem here. Mrs Sharp considered that she was not in a suitable environment for her to cooperate. You do not offer any solution to that. And you cannot with simple "mutual benefits" reasoning.

BTW, review your example too. The response you quote deserves more examination no? Donald would *also* have had the operating system if he had not given his drivers code. So he is also mocking his interlocutor narrow mind in my humble opinion. The key point is probably to stop thinking *only* in terms of reward/benefits. If I am right: me too. If not, too bad. :-)
