I do appreciate that they are at least giving people some agency into the decision first, rather than ruthlessly cutting people

Wouldn't surprise me if they still have layoffs after this.

depends on how many choose to take this offer. it is clear Microsoft thinks it doesn't need 60k people

I wouldn’t agree with your last sentence, corporate HR already knows typical rates of acceptance for buyout deals. They aren’t assuming 100% take up.
