This is not specific to the article or complaint even if it could be read as such.

IMO it would be nice instead of giving money for some useful purpose to instead give the same amount of money for a useless purpose. E.g. not 5000 USD and free software is improved. Instead: USD 5000, go and travel for a bit / give a big party / anything that various people consider a waste of that money (IMO travel is useful). That it really is an extra and not an additional task in any way. Ideally that "wastefulness" is encouraged or almost required.
