I don’t know why not. That’s what I’m asking. Is that what they do? If Google pay you $200k plus $500k stock do Mozilla pay you $700k cash instead. Maybe they do. Just seems doubtful somehow... seems like there must be a reason Google prefer to put it in stock.

Companies pay in stock because it's not an immediate cash cost like salary, and because the value is tied to the success of the company which encourages employees to drive progress/profit for the business.

Right... so is that what Mozilla do or not? Do they actually pay the same as their (literally over the road) competitors but entirely in cash?

No they pay less but slightly (20% or less) higher base with 20-40% bonus opportunity.
