Why would such a group of people volunteer to rewrite the budget without any oversight or accountability? There's no possible benefit to themselves! They must be such giving, selfless souls!

Sure. It’s unpaid to attract people who don’t need money to survive, and bar everyone else. And it gives them some modicum of direct control and power to change things as they see fit.
Effectively, it’s a wealth filter. It works with internships, why not this ideologically-motivated nonsense?
Besides, rich people who don’t need income don’t know how to do actual work, so 80 hour weeks is probably code for “play a lot of golf and take 4 hour lunches, work drunk, whatever, just have fun with it man!”
