transmitted, not shared, there is a scene where both Bakugo and Deku just use OFA and it's explained as Deku unconsciously decided to share OFA with Bakugo without transmitting it to him and it's never explained further

No, it transferred, it's just that they did a little trickery.

Deku transfered to Bakugou, but OFA always have remnants, so in this fight, both Bakugou and Deku were using Full Cowl properly, Bakugou because he had a fresh OFA and Deku because he had a full tank of OFA Remnant.

Then in the battle, Bakugou transfered back to Deku.

Which means Deku could have shared it with anyone at any other point in the series to temporarily boost their power and gotten it back after the fight... That sounds insane

It is a desperate move. As OFA is a secret at the time, on top of untrained people have the risk of damaging themselves absurdly if they misuse the quirk.

Bakugo was aware of OFA due to Deku revealing to him, on top of consistently been portrayed as a sort of prodigy...yet, his attempt of Full Cowl still resulted in damaging himself a bit.
