I thought the only observation we have of dark matter is via cosmological models.

It’s an interesting idea, but it assumes that physical forces are getting WEAKER over time, and that’s a pretty big assumption. It’s not very parsimonious.
I’m not a subscriber to this particular theory, but I do think model error is a more plausible explanation than magical, undetectable mass.

The mass is definitely detectable–it’s just not visible. And it’s detectable in several different ways that all match, that’s the key here. This is definitely an observation.
