You'd have the same tax burden if you were given cash vs. vested shares worth the same amount.

This isn't true because you need to pay income tax on both RSUs and salary, but if you were given more salary to invest yourself, then you'd also be subject to capital gains tax. There are no capital gains on RSUs prior to vesting.

Don't you pay income tax on the appreciation then? That's much worse than capital gains...
