Donor: “Why shouldn’t we just give money to the organization and let them decide what to spend it on?”
They SHOULD. I would much rather donors giving money to my clients so my clients can afford to pay me what my product is worth than have them give money to me to subsidize pricing. Not only does this give me revenue rather than donations, but it also doesn't undercut the fair market value and movement expectations of what good tech should cost.
