Marga's idea here is that by acknowledging the support — especially
by professionals, who voluntarily donate 200 € to the conference
— we can encourage others to follow suit.
Many of us can afford 200 € out of the money we earn using Debian.
Being able to publicly say so, e.g. with a coloured badge, or
getting swag in return is just a nice confirmation.
