Try convincing a tech person that the shares they get as compensation from their employer are equal to getting money and buying those shares at the time they get them. I also think tech workers tend to over-estimate what "average person" really is because they mostly know "above average people".

Yes, this is another example of irrational money behavior that is common in the tech world. According to a poll on our company slack, only about 50% of the employees plan to sell any of their RSUs and maybe 15% sell all.
