What?? Why would he exclude himself from tournament winnings, assuming he can still place strongly with 1 resignation?


There are other players in a tournament besides Hans and Magnus. It's not unfair to those other players for Magnus to give Hans a point for free but make them work hard to try to earn a point from him.

If it keeps up there will be tournaments where Hans beats out someone else for prize money where his free point from Magnus is what puts him ahead of that other person.
