You actually do not own the capital until it vests, and the amount that vests (which could have greatly appreciated) is all taxed as income.

That's just accounting treatment. Doesn't change the financial fact that it can be replicated with a cash bonus the same size as the original grant.

No, it can't because you lose unvested shares if you leave before they vest. Have you ever been granted RSUs?
