This is a very "techy" viewpoint. There are only a very small number of companies globally, (a percentage that can be rounded to 0), that give equity as part of the employee compensation.

I feel like tech is the implied context here. In tech, the number is a lot closer to 100% than 0%.

It's magnitudes closer to 0% than to 100%. Like 0.1% compared to 99.9%.
