Yes it is relevant ! Think of it this way.
The organiser wants to go on a trip to start with, otherwise the issue
would never come up. So they think up a way of going on the trip at
minimum cost to themselves by setting up a system in which other people
are talked into covering what would otherwise be the organiser's
expense. Would the organiser go at all if it weren't for free ? I
doubt it. Travel agents do the same thing when they 'accompany, or
guide" clients on a holiday trip. They get a free trip by organising
clients on behalf of holiday destination operators.
I understand that this organising may take a bit of work as indicated
by Inger earlier today, but the organiser takes that on anyway when they
decide to offer the trip.
I used to do some bird guiding around South Oz, but only on the basis
that someone, a client, covered my costs of fuel and paid me by the hour
for my time. Of course I enjoyed the birding too, but I wouldn't have
been out in the field without a client.

Presumably, if you go on an organised birding trip then you know
beforehand
how much it is going to cost you. The question then is "Is it worth it"
to
you. Whether someone else is going for nothing, or not, is irrelevant.
