Yeah, the situation from TFA doesn't make a lot of sense; I was just highlighting that it's not as clear-cut as "costs > 1 FTE => fix it."

Yep. Opportunity cost is the importantly thing. Though a well-managed org will scale capacity against some ROI threshold.

If you’re skipping 8 $300k projects a year that could be done by one fully-burdened $400k developer, something is wrong.
