People of limited means judge wealthy people and organizations no matter how much they donate. The wealthy also know that there is diminishing efficacy from throwing money at a problem. So therefore linking it to public interest is the compromise. I think you and others looked at it backwards, where the public interest is tied to the matching and why it shouldn't be. This has nothing to do with the motivations of the wealthy matcher. All parties exist together in an ecosystem.
