This is a worthwhile analysis, but you have neglected the numerous
expenses involved in supporting a large organisation. You can't have
an organisation with an $8.8M budget without managers, fundraisers,
HR, legal counsel, etc.. The WMF could trim its budget a lot without
harming basic site function, but not as much as your method suggests.
