You're forgetting but Microsoft isn't just a software shop. They also do quite a lot of hardware, games / VR, design among other things.
I don't know who they're laying off but if they worked in, say, ARM Surface Hardware or maybe phone hardware engineering, they're going to have a smaller amount of places to go. Yes they could go learn software development but if they haven't done it that ramp up time is going to be years.
