“Funding constraints” are almost always fake. Givedirectly can double their pay and just give less to recipients if they wanted to, for example.
Institutions also usually have the option to just hire less people or fire more people.
I feel like treating fake constraints as a clear decision boundary is silly; what happened here is that Lightcone+ surrounding ecosystems chose to make the fake constraints less of a constraint and more of a visible choice.
