Not to speak about OpenAI specifically, but people who know what they’re doing still cost a buttload of $$$$.

Even I as a software engineer have a minimum salary I expect because I’m good at my job.

Just because it’s a non-profit doesn’t mean I’m going to demand a smaller salary.

And if the non-profit can’t afford me and gets a more junior dev and they’re not very good and their shit breaks… well, they should have paid full price.

That said, there ARE a lot of dirty non-profits that exist just to pay their executives.

You're thinking about the wrong thing. It's not about salaries for staff. The fact that it's a non-profit means no corporate taxes. That's where the profits go into the pockets of management, practically.
