They don't want all their eggs in one basket, so they receive new options, exercise and sell their shares and pay their tax (which is at ordinary income tax rates). Unfortunately, it is only the foot soldiers who tend to put all their eggs in the same basket, and almost never cash out their options (or at least do not cash out a sizable amount of their options to make a difference).
