This has everything to do with the wealthy, powerful, and connected people at the top of the UC system and California state government opting, in true dictatorial fashion, to suppress the education of their own populace (by making in-state access more difficult) in the pursuit of short term monetary gains (from those sweet full-tuition dollars you mention, and probably some other incentives that were discussed over steak dinners). And, indeed, overlooking the negative effects on their own economy and long-term welfare (via espionage, lost education, etc).
