“Many Californians wish our state schools were more open to OOS kids…”

Not if they have a high schooler, they don’t. G-Mule, I see that you are an international, so I can understand the honest question. As others have stated, the Univ of California system is primarily paid for with state taxes on California citizens, so they get first priority. Other top US publics do the same, including UMich, UVa and UNC. The difference with Michigan is that the young 'ens are a declining cohort relative to other states (pop growth continues in the south and west), so UMich needs to attract more kids from OOS.
