This hits home. I'm a fairly early employee at a unicorn, with no exit in sight. I've talked to the cofounders about extending my exercise window, and got the response of "We can probably do that when the time comes". Of course if that turns out to not be the case, well then I'm now stuck leaving behind a huge portion of my equity to cover the taxes, assuming I can sell to cover.
Love that this seems to be getting more popular, hope it becomes the norm for companies in the future.
