Wow, I imagined stock comp would usually be based on current valuation.

It is, if they're offering RSUs rather than options. With options there's no meaningful "current valuation" since they're granted with a strike price that should be equal to their last valuation, there's only a potential distribution of future outcomes based on expected multiples (incl. 0).
Yup, same!
