Because there’s a difference between doing something for financial incentive for food, and doing it for altruistic reasons or even cultural reasons.

The idea is for kidney donation to be financially neutral. So you wouldn't do this for financial gain. Currently, it's financially net negative.

Putting nitpicks with the specifics of their system aside, how is it wrong to take kidney donation from a financial negative to financially neutral?

I don’t think 50k is financially neutral

It surprises me as well that kidney donations cost the donor ~50k, but I guess that's why I'm not an expert.
