Companies (F500s and below) are increasingly moving away from this for efficiency and cost reasons, but I agree with you that it's a bit of a nothingburger.

Meanwhile the same HNers complaining about Niccols contract are the same ones who oppose the unrealized capital gains tax proposal that literally only affects people with $100M and above in undeployed capital

You don't even have a moral argument for that stupid idea. Just a political belief.

First $100M, then when that's not enough it'll be $50M, then $10M, then $1M, then $500k. The definition of "rich" will keep being adjusted down.

And for what? So politicians can spend it on some photo-op project for themselves? Maybe sending "aid" to other countries (bullets and bombs)? Using it to spy on it's own citizens and quell dissidents? Surely individuals can on average invest the money more productively.
