It doesn't change the fact but it makes it somewhat irrelevant. It doesn't count if people don't know about it.

Moreover, needs-blind is somewhat of a misnomer. They do have a limit to those spots. They cannot give 100% of students a full ride, even if 100% of the most qualified applicants are unable to pay.
