It would be pretty easy to test then, I guess - the amount of 'dark matter' a galaxy has would then be proportional to the angular momentum of its components.

If something like this was the case then any fast rotating object would be destined to become a blackhole. If it gains mass due to relativistic rotational speeds that would then cause it to rotate even faster; a runaway speed increase.
Millisecond Pulsars wouldn’t exist as they’d all become blackholes.
