What? Perhaps in shitty companies that are incapable of making tough decisions, but this is definitely not my experience.
On the contrary, for most cases I don't think there is much "shame" for being fired as a senior exec because a lot of times it's just that there are disagreements among senior leadership about where to take the company, and so it's better to have people leave who aren't on board with the company direction than to have those disagreements fester.

Unless there is some severe political rivalry. IIRC this guy was in contention for the CEO position before Agrawal was appointed.

You're thinking firing for cause. These two were probably told that they would no longer run their divisions, here's a nice severance package if you want to leave. What are they gonna do, stick around in a lower role?
In the enterprise, if someone high ranking is going to be replaced, they're never fired unless there was company-hostile bad behavior.
If the organization is trying to move in another direction, they reorganize and reduce the role of that high ranking leader- maybe to a position where they're alone! and give that high ranking person time to make their next move comfortably.
This goes double when the person is on leave.
