> Who funded the University of Nebraska to specifically test EVs in an improbable perpendicular collision with a guardrail?

The US Army - who use the same barriers at road blocks. It looks like the research was really about heavier vehicles. The focus on EVs does ignore the general trend to larger vehicles as you say.

That might explain the angle as well. It seems to me that someone ramming a barricade would likely do so at a perpendicular angle.
