You've ignored that fact that many uptrending stock companies (MSFT & INTC fi) sell out of the money puts and put most of the premiums in their pockets. Other options are exercised so that the company accumulates shares at discounts to honor the employee calls. It is not unusual for these companies to pocket $100 million or more per tear.
