I understand what you're saying, as I also have experienced too many layoffs the last few years. That means you and I have become more "comfortable" with the idea and going through all the cr@p.
Most of those getting laid off however are going through this for the first time. So their stress anxiety and reality is far far different than perhaps what you remember. So while they lasted, they have already been through the hell and stress and morale-sapping process of multiple rounds only to finally get the simultaneous kick in the @rse out the door and a sucker punch. They also know their reality of landing a new role anytime soon does not look good at all, whereas you and I perhaps had far more opportunity (except for the last ~6mo).
In short... your comment may come off as being insensitive to those experiencing their situation for the first time.
