I personally think it makes perfect sense for FULLstack "founding" engineers (that are not expected to become CTOs) to be cofounders with significant equity, assuming of course they're joining at a risky phase (saying that as an experienced engineer who's both a freelance and solopreneur).

Other than that, it's all a function of compensation/risk, safety, and effort compared to their other options.
