what does all-stock mean when it's an IPO'd company?

I've always thought that a liquid asset like Uber stock is basically as good as cash, so why do they even bother mentioning that it?

There’s probably time restrictions on when you can sell the stock. Also if you cashed out $2.65 billion of Uber stock the price would go way down.
