The point is to raise revenue.
In some sense, City is calling the bluff of these deeply immoral rich fucks; the tax is incredibly affordable for them, and almost all of them will simply complain and pay it, and thus generate revenue for the City.

Ken Griffin may be deeply immoral -- I don't know -- but it's not a condition of being rich.
