Some of the very largest tech companies offer these kinds of plans. Google and Microsoft do. Facebook has a 50% match up to 7% of salary, so if you're making over $139k/yr (which every technical employee is) then it's functionally the same. Apple is 50% match up to 6% of salary, which equalizes at $162k/yr.
Add all that together, plus all the smaller companies that also have great plans (like Netflix) and we're talking over a million employees in tech that all get the effective benefit of the company contributing 50% of the IRS personal contribution limit. I would call that common.
