Most late employees got generous RSU's instead of options.

Only to employees hired post IPO though, correct?

Why would it be restricted to post-IPO employees? It's pretty common to get RSU grants at a startup pre- or post-IPO. Typically you can negotiate the mix.

Source: have received and negotiated on offers within the last three years from "name-brand" pre-IPO startups.

No, they've been granting private RSUs for at least a year before.
