I've been wondering the same, but my gut says it won't have a huge impact except in the narrow FAANG-style part of the industry.
I suspect that because a lot of the laid-off engineers only know that segment of the industry and will be less likely to seek work outside it for various reasons. And a lot of them will move to a different industry entirely.
