Imagine that instead of writing "javac file.java" every time you wanted to recompile you had to hire workers and buy materials to build the program using cogs and levers. Development would obviously slow down a lot if you had to ration your recompiles because of funding. Also, a project has an optimal amount of employees. I'm pretty sure ITER and the like has less than that number right now. Throwing money at the problem seems like an excellent way to speed things up.
