Sorry, that's not the part that bothers me. Instead, it's that everyone agrees that keeping the content serving is their highest priority, and they have far more money than they need just for that, which means additional money they raise is not "keep Wikimedia online" but funding their other work.

People may be excited to fund that other work too, but they should make the case for it instead of pretending there's a risk Wikipedia and their other sites will drop off the internet.
