It applies equally well to GS11s traveling on business where prestige is not a factor. Even domestically, I've seen travel costs approximately in line with $200 per night paid by not-for-profits. Can it be cheaper? Sure. Is it cause for outrage and opprobrium in public? I doubt it. I'm more interested in whether it was necessary to travel at all, and in general whether the WMF derives sufficient benefit to justify spending 7 figures on travel every year.
