The argument it doesn't offer protection from redundancy after this is all over is not an argument for it benefiting primarily businesses. How could it offer protection indefinitely?
To be frank this discussion is all a bit silly.
Employers get the money from Government allowing them to make decisions about their employees' future. Employees who think they've had a nice 3 month holiday are going to suffer a bit of a volte-face when they realise what the world looks like afterwards. Doing 3 days a week for 60% pay would have been a more valuable contribution, for instance.
