Technically not true.SIAI could actually be the optimal way for them specifically to generate utility while at the same time being not the optimal place for people to donate. For example, they could use their efforts to divert charitable donations from even worse sources to themselves and then pass it on to Givewell.
I think that would be illegal, though I'm not as familiar with US rules with regard to this as UK ones. More importantly, that argument seems to rely on an unfairly expansive interpritation of what it is to work for SIAI: diverting money away from SIAI doesn't count.
