Nope, ~30% of UCLA's (and Cal's) Frosh are Pell Grantees; to have a number that high, they HAVE to be receiving a huge admissions tip. Even with poor finaid, those kids receive a ~$16k grant. Moreover, bcos finaid is so poor, most, if not all, need to work a LOT of hours during the year to make ends meet. Thus, hey take the minimum load and five years + is a graduation norm.

Regardless, increasing the OOS'ers is gonna reduce this group, which tend to be the lower admits in the pool statwise. Why not just then accept more in-staters?
