As an immigrant who got laid off this year, I am hating on every company that doesn't offer to keep you on payroll with the severance money

Legally if you are on payroll but not doing work the visa issue remains. Now will the government actually enforce that who knows. I’m not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

If you are still on the payroll, the company is committed to paying you, which means they don't get to recognize (accounting-wise) the cost savings of letting you go. They could convert you to a temporary FTE, but that doesn't help your visa. Severance and other costs of letting people go are recognized as soon as the employee walks out the door.
