I believe you're missing one key point. Proper use of stock options (again, I'm not talking the huge post-IPO grants given to Tom and the like, but the rank and file) is a huge motivational, and thus productivity, tool. Without stock options, where would a lot of these companies be, and what would their valuations be?

People always ask "why are Silicon Valley companies more successful, accomplished, profitable, innovative, etc, etc"? The answer is real, meaningful employee ownership. Stock options are tools that can vastly improve the valuation of their companies.

Destroy or disable stock options, and you'll kill the golden goose.
