They sure are insistent on it being literally zero for people who don't think it's literally zero.

If you like, I'm happy to update my claim to, "startup equity often has non-trivial value, say, >$1000 per year."

Add a few zeros and I think we’d be in the right ballpark. You have to make up for the haircut before you start counting positive net value.
