People work for their paycheck and not their company, and they have the nerve to talk about "loyalty" and stuff like that when they won't do any of this. But I understand why companies prefer to pay you in full rather than stocks, (1) it's gonna be miniscule compared to their actual cash flow and (2) they would prefer to pay you whatever your contract says and keep whatever interest for themselves, even if that's not much. So they are optimizing for their own interest in both ways. I'm not knowledgeable in this area but as a normie that would be my guess.
