Can it show the hands of all players who ever played at the site for when a tourney gets down to less than 50% of its starting players?

Does it prove no superusers, superbots?
You can't prove a negative.

What if they rig it for 2/3 of their players and you are part of the 1/3 they don't rig it for?
What happens when the rigged 2/3s play the non rigged 1/3?

There seemingly endless ways for a poker site to rig it to where it is not detectable. They could rig it one way for a week then switch to another way. They could rig a different way each day. Etc etc etc etc etc.
No ****, Sherlock. No one has ever said rigging isn't possible, in fact just the opposite. What people have said is that there's been no proof of rigging, and that so far no one's coming up with even
one rigging idea that could increase profits substantially while being relatively undetectable.
In fact I don't think there's been a realistic theory posed for a rigging scheme that could boost profits even allowing ridiculous levels of detectability.
Anyone with sharp knives in the kitchen could go lop off a few fingers, but I don't think many of us worry that one day we'll decide to do that.

The only way to be sure of randomness is to watch somebody shuffle a deck of cards live, have them cut, then watch them deal.
Yes, because nothing is more random than 3 quick shuffles of the deck, and no one on earth is able to set a deck then pretend to shuffle it.
Plus didn't you say earlier you can't tell if everything's fair online until you see all the hole cards? Why isn't that also true live?
