What I find to be the most asshole thing with this layoff and the other ones in recent days is that, they pretend to care about the people that are discarded but it is really an awful thing to fire them just before Christmas and end of year celebrations.
Except in exceptional cases, that is not this one, waiting for the beginning of January will not change things so much for the business but it would avoid depression of employee by having celebration ruined for the employee and probably his whole family!
Why is it done like that and now? Probably because they want to be able to announce "good financial news" for the year 2023 or the new quarter...

But speaking for myself I would't be so depressed about getting 4 months severance while not having do do any work or be oncall over the holidays. That severance and accelerated vesting is also going to be on the books for the next couple of quarters regardless.
