I have never received severance from an employer or known personally someone who has (USA). How common of an occurrence is this?

Very few will if you are fired, especially in the first month. In reality it is win/win situation for the employer to offer a decent severance.

Without it bad fits and bad developers stick around for years or you get the reputation as a "fire fast" company and a lot of good people don't want to work with you.
