They don't write code? Gavin Andresen is a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation and the lead developer for the reference Bitcoin client. I'm pretty sure he also owns and operates Bitcoin.org, which has been the unofficial official homepage of Bitcoin for years.

Gavin doesn't operate bitcoin.org; that's another developer. You are right that the foundation does pay his salary, but the fact is that compared to its endowment and its legal expenses the portion of its money that goes out to developers is rather tiny.
