<<< Another more appropriate analogy is the fact that many employees will exercise immediately after their stock options vest >>>>

I doubt if the operative word "many" is true. "Few" do - especially if there is a lifestyle change involved. But that may be a portion. Why would employees exercise all and incur a) withholding taxes b) margins c) commissions ?

What motivations would most employees have to exercise ? Especially when the trend is upwards. Companies are obliged to reward employees for retention strategies - even go to the lengths of repricing.

We talk from personal experience.
