EAs, for example, are interested in the former but not in the latter as they donate their free cash flow and so don't have to manage it.

I think this is a mischaracterization, as 1) I don't think giving everything above a certain threshold is a majority behavior (note that GWWC's pledge only requires you to give 10%), and 2) EA's discuss investing for the purposes of giving more later.
