> Why else would they choose to have equity vest quarterly instead of with each pay period?

This makes sense for reduced paperwork if the company is buying back 28% of the shares to pay taxes instead of selling it to the market to pay the taxes - the company can reduce the open market sale on vesting days, but keep it as a single event within the quarter (advance tax payment per quarter).

Is this the only reason why we can’t have biweekly vests? This sounds like something solvable with technology, no?
