If they have enough money without the kickstarter than why have the kickstarter?

I wouldn't be surprised if a kickstarter has just become a thinly veiled pre-order system that lets you sell stupid things like lunch with the developers for $2,000. Does a project have to prove need of kickstarter funding in order to qualify, or can you take any already-funded project and slap a kickstarter on it?
I get the impression from some cancelled Kickstarters that the developers are trying to limit how much they need to rely on external financers and in extension, lose out on the rights to their IP.
