Can we separate salary from stock-based comps?

If you click through to the company page, we have a graph with breakdown of salary, stock & bonus (ex. https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Lyft/).

Why? They're all reported the same as income on your taxes

Compensation from stock grants is significantly more volatile than base salary or bonus targets, but otherwise I don’t see a major difference.

Not if it's not actual stocks (i.e. pre-IPO companies).
