GiveWell also perceives its audience as uninterested in higher expected value but higher risk options.

Doesn't seem entirely plausible, given that GiveWell's second-highest rated charity and several of the other next-ranked charities are acknowledged to likely have close-to-zero impact, in exchange for high expected value. They don't seem to shy away from a cause just because they perceive it as high-risk.
