   Why does a stockholder have to reassert their rights to hold the stock that they already own?

      They do not own the stock, because the options never vested and thus were never exercised. The time to assert that claim was 30 years ago.

         > NVIDIA’s CFO wrote me a letter stating that 15,625 shares of my stock options had vested, and that I was required to exercise them. I did, and then forgot all about it.

            Read the whole thing again. They aren’t complaining about the 15,625 shares (which they presumably sold a long time ago) but the remaining 25,000–15,625.
