The tax burden is the primary problem, that is what all this discussion is really about.

I dunno, I had to pay nearly $15k to exercise options and while I barely escaped amt issues, the money wasn't easy. And represented a 10% rebate on after-tax salary for the period I worked for that company.

Sure, that happens. But it is a very different situation from the one where AMT (in the US, other jurisdictions have similar issues) makes it financially impossible to exercise your options.
