Maybe you have features that can be built somewhere like aws where you have already sold it to a customer and you just don't have the devs. And you know you're going to cut from a part of the company where there is no expectation that the features from the devs will increase revenue. Tuning up the Alexa weather app isn't likely to get more customers but and aws database offering that some other fortune 500 is asking for might be revenue positive a couple months after release.
There more to it than the total cost of devs it matters what people are working on and if the products will produce revenue.
