Pinterest started that around 2014 if memory serves and it became quite popular for startups to follow suit but recently less so and I’ve even seen some roll-backs; ultimately many startup employees don’t understand equity and don’t optimize for it.

Lyft also gave 7 years equity exercise terms starting around 2013, and it was part of the reason for having the IPO when it did, was because some of the early equity holders were getting near to seeing their shares expire.
