But why would it be rare? It seems like any company that pays dividends must have investors that would rather reinvest PRE-TAX rather than post-tax, and if tax laws allow it, why wouldn't more companies offer this possibility?

I recall some companies used to pay stock dividends way back in the 90s though I am not sure what the tax treatment of such dividends is.
