> And by the way, 9 weeks of severance on pretty good tech job salaries is far richer than many get.

It's drastically shorter than their cohort of tech companies, which is the comparison they sell themselves as.

Between that and the rescinded offers, if they do ever make it out of this trough, they'll have a hard reputation to shake and have to pay up with signing bonuses.

Possibly. But personally, I don't think the generosity of any severance package is a deal-breaking factor in most people's decisions to work for a company or not. Or for most people getting a job offer, that the company has reneged on some recent offers -- there are far more fundamental questions than those specific actions.
It is when the ship is sinking and the remaining people are deciding if they too should jump.
People who jump ship don't get severance.
