So all the programmers who work there should live on thin air? I agree that ideally the management should not be there for profit, but come on, the salaries are not even that crazy. I suspect FAANG key employees in that area easily earn multiples of that.

In Bay Area? I'm quite sure you get great people all around the World, or in USA, by much less.
That line of thought is exactly why FAAMG companies tried to lower salaries for CoL when they opened up to more remote roles. I don't know if thst was fair, but it wasn't something appreciated by many engineers during the pandemic.
It's also how and why long ago they tried to outsource a lot of engineering. They still do try. But that's not an easy transition either.

We are talking about C*, Engineer Manager, getting almost 700k/year. Not developers.
Yes, so what's the problem?

What is the problem of managers of a non-profit company earning around 700k/year and the company is writing blog posts complaining that the the company operation is too expensive? I think if you read it aloud, you will understand it.
