You're nearly there.

The actual words used in the legislation are important. The element of the definition of "cost sharing" to which you referred is not about the number of POB. It's about the maximum seat configuration of the aircraft.

Thus, there is no such thing (under the new rules) as a "cost sharing" flight in an aircraft that has a maximum seat configuration of e.g. 9, even if there are only e.g. 2 POB on board. Again, that's why I chose the particular scenarios.
