Why is Microsoft laying off SDE-2 and hiring SDE-2 simultaneously??

Like, why don't they just internally transfer?? Also, I guess its more expensive for Microsoft to layoff and then hire, since they have to give severance package, as well as the cost of recruitment too. So this decision does not make sense financially too. So anybody can tell what exactly is Microsoft's thought process?

Why layoff and not transfer internally?

I've come really bizarre cases of companies laying off some division(s) while actively hiring in other division(s). Why do they not transfer some of the to-be laid-off employees to the other divisions?

Freshers laid off

Loosing respect for the companies which are laying off the freshers. I thing it is the worst thing which can happen in an industry. Ola and Amazon have fired freshers very recently. Any other companies which had done this?
