But the moon does rotate. It’s that it’s rotation is geosynchronous with the earth. If it didn’t we’d see its other side.

No, you assume that it rotates because you assume that the universe does not.

The point being that the guy basing his rotating earth argument on Occam's Razor now has more assumptions in his model and therefore can't use Occam's Razor as an argument.

I don't think that is correct. The moon does not rotate. If it did, we would see the other side of the moon regularly. It does orbit the earth, but it is not in geo-synchronous orbit. If it were, only the people on the part of the earth that the moon follows would ever be able to see it, and it would be visible 24/7 (except during an eclipse).
