If I’m understanding this concern correctly, it’s along the lines of: “they’re not making a financial sacrifice in shutting down, so it’s less praiseworthy than it otherwise would be”.
Just to clarify, charity founders (at least CE ones) take a pay cut to start their charity—they would earn more if working for other EA organizations as employees, and much more if in tech/finance/consulting/careers that typical of people with oxbridge/ivy/etc education levels. The financial sacrifice was already made when starting the charity, and if anything, quitting is actually better for you financially.
