This seems mostly geared toward private companies that grant equity. As it’s part of the Galloway series that targets this audience that makes sense.

I do wonder how much of this applies to RSUs granted by public corps

Basically none of it. RSUs at public companies are as good as cash that just happens to be pre-invested. The tax implications are very simple (they're just regular income like getting paid in cash), and so are your legal rights (you're not much different from anyone who bought a share on the stock exchange). You should risk-adjust their value like any investment, but there's are very few if any sneaky things that can happen to pull the rug entirely.
