Basically this is a way for a company to downsize older workers (and their higher salaries ) without breaking the law. Its not so much about making it less brutal.

The rest of the workforce is told it's less brutal because those who take severence are about to retire anyway. It simply accelerates that choice.

Legal Requirements

Employers typically offer severance in exchange for the employee signing a General Release of Claims, which prevents them from suing the company for wrongful termination or discrimination.

Review Periods: Under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), employees aged 40+ must be given 21 days to review an individual agreement (45 days for group layoffs) and 7 days to revoke their signature.
The federal WARN Act requires employers with 100+ workers to provide 60 days' notice for mass layoffs. Failure to provide notice often results in the employer paying 60 days of salary as a penalty, which effectively acts as a mandated severance

Severance is based on a formula. The formula takes into account your years of service and your grade level. The maximum amount of weeks is capped for each of the grades. For example, a grade 40 with 10-14 years of service will get 20
Weeks of severance. Additionally, to get around WARN notice requirements, they may set your actual termination date into the future(and you will get paid regularly until that date). Thy will also pay your benefits via COBRA for 6 months . While getting laid off su-ks, the package is usually fairly generous
