Sure, maybe you think it's not morally obligatory. But EAs who think it's good to give 10% generally think it's better to give 20%, and similarly maybe it is permissible to abort a baby but morally better to not.

And they may also think that it is even better to give 100% minus living expenses, but at the end of the day most of them don't do it.
