Maybe you somehow got a different understanding than I did.

It isn't that they couldn't use the donations or that they won't help people. Unfortunately, restrictions, both transparent and implied, means that they can't always use the donation where it is actually needed. Furthermore, those same donations actually hinder them from helping folks in the future.

Long term planning and learning from history and working with other charities and all that stuff - they actually do that.
