The solution here is to help teach everyone how to negotiate their salaries. Not to let companies completely dictate the terms of your employment.
Also "We come up with an offer that we think is fair. If you want more equity, we’ll let you swap a little bit of your cash salary for equity, but we aren’t going to reward people who are better negotiators with more compensation." is a contradiction.
They are saying they won't negotiate and that you can negotiate in the same sentence. Asking for a swap is a negotiation unless you have an offer that gives you multiple salary to stock option balances to choose from to begin with.

You are inserting assumptions not in their statement to come up with that interpretation. > Asking for a swap is a negotiation unless you have an offer that gives you multiple salary to stock option balances to choose from to begin with. Since nothing in what they say indicates that they are not not providing offers that give multiple salary to stock option balances to choose from (or a base salary/equity balance and a defined swap ratio and range in which swaps are allowed), and as you yourself note the only way the statement is internally consistent is if it does do that, why do you assume that the offers aren't structured that way?
