Yes it is sort of odd that the status quo is to offer a sliding amount of equity (due to dilution).
I'm not immediately sure why a fixed amount of shares, whose value simply increases over time, is not the status quo. The only trouble I can see with this is that shares are non-divisible, so you have to give out at least 1 share, even if it is priced at $10,000.
