I think 75% is apt here, tailwind is incredibly popular and most people wouldn't know how many engineers they have. If it said "tailwind let 3 people go" I bet most (including me) would assume alright.. tailwinds big they may have 30-50 people around.. 3 is not too bad right?

I also disagree with this being entirely bullshit, I think he is right that the impact of AI has made the situation worse for him by impacting his most valuable sales funnel (their own documentation pages). But separately, it is a very populated space (UI libraries) with multiple options to compete with, some of which are rather well established and free - so it was an uphill battle to begin with.

What would be wrong with saying "3 of their 4 engineers"?

Nothing, if that was your point then I misunderstood what you were suggesting - also perfectly valid.
