Either way, the person I was replying to has a diagnosed sleep disorder. You're really going to say it's a good idea for someone with a sleep disorder to sleep in the same bed as a child?
No.
The safest place for the child to sleep is in their own crib. You may choose to ignore those risks, it's not against the law or anything, but no matter how you slice it cosleeping is a riskier behavior than not cosleeping.
That data doesn't seem comparable. See https://www.ncemch.org/suid-sids/statistics/ for a direct comparison. The U.S., overall, has some of the worst statistics for infant health across developed nations.
Is cosleeping more dangerous than a crib? Yes. The question is by how much given precautions, bed arrangement, health and age of the baby, and several other factors. Of course that's up to the parents to decide, and it's usually an evolving situation.

US:
> 38.4 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2020

38.4 / 100 = .384
You're saying 0.384 > 0.44 ?
