> Companies don't need "more work" half the "features"/"products" that companies produce is already just extra.

At my company we have a huge backlog where only the top of that iceberg is pulled every iteration to keep customers happy.

If they fired 90% of the engineers assuming a 10x increase in productivity, they might be able to offer their product at half the price. But if they keep all their engineers they'd get 10x the features and could probably charge twice as much for it.
