I'm sure very few of the people whose continued work they were depending on for a sale would have stayed this long if they realized they were going to be treated like this.

Just because you remained does not mean that your job is secure. This is strictly common sense.
Also I've had a pretty long career and I don't know of any company in this situation who paid 500 employees severance after ceasing operations.

They absolutely cratered within six months of launch.
I wouldn't use them as an example of how to competently operate a business. They literally gave all of the investors' money away. They operated more like a charity than a business and if I were one of their investors I'd have been suing.
As if a month or two of severance, which I'd wager your average critic in this thread would promote as laudable, would do much of anything in the grand scheme of job security.
Given the upside of a company surviving, or even ultimately succeeding, as an employee, I'd rather try to help a good/fair company ride it out and survive than folding early to pay out a few months.
Are these thousands of successful companies? Or failed companies?

Sorry.
