You still pay tax on the gain when you sell though (assuming there is any gain). Depending on how long you hold them there will be normal income tax or long-term gains tax

Yes, but this is equivalent to purchasing the stock. You could sell the day they vest, and then use the proceeds to repurchase the stock and you'd be in the same boat. I.e. there's nothing special about them once they vest.
