Isn't that right in the definition of the word? They co-operate to form a word.

Cooperating means working together to accomplish a goal, sometimes by doing different tasks; not necessarily just doing the same thing and duplicating effort, as would be the case if they made the same sound.

If anything, we should be casting shade at that lazy hyphen who ducked out early instead of sticking around to make the etymology clear.
