That question reminds me of those equality vs equity pictures. I'm not sure I even agree with those definitions, but it's a commonly spread explanation. https://www.marinhhs.org/sites/default/files/boards/general/...

So one question is then, which view does a court take?

This "benefit" is available to everyone laid off. It's not discriminatory just because some people don't need it. Otherwise offering free bicycle storage would be discriminatory to people who bus to work, and offering free bus passes would be discriminatory to cyclists.

We would be well served to be a little more discriminatory against cyclists.

Notably, DoorDash is providing the benefit equally to all fired employees [0].

[0] At least those working within the US.
