I think what isn't being mentioned is that sometimes the company changes beneath your feet. Apps get sold and teams get aquihired, friends get let go or leave, roles get redefined; company priorities shift.

And companies turn out to be poorly run.
With the 4 year vesting schedule, employees are incentivized to leave after a year to diversify their holdings.
For some kinds of work, that's fine, but I think most companies of all kinds would prefer employees who will stay with them for at least a year.
It's totally valid for someone to want to hop companies and favor that lifestyle. But it's also valid for companies to favor people who don't want to hop.
