Co-op IS a casual feature. It allows inexperienced gamers to join their more core friends to work together and beat the game. Plus just the idea of playing with a group of people is something that would be more attractive to a "casual" gamer (i.e. casual gamers don't tend to like playing games alone). So yes, this is a casual feature, but that doesn't mean it can't appeal to hardcore gamers as well.

This is a lucid and well-reasoned explanation, thank you, though I find the implication that this could be a bad thing to be heinous.

That said, the person of whom I asked the question insists that co-op is not casual. So my question to him remains.
