IMO the "I take full responsibility" line isn't directed at the people being laid off; It's directed at the people who are left.

It says to the middle management layer "I'm not going to blame or fire you because we had to lay people off."

No, it is aimed at the shareholders and the press and its purpose is to ensure that the ship is in safe hands and please don't fire the CEO.
