It all comes down to money. The kids in the Baltimore and DC area will travel to wherever they get the sweetest deal.

St. Johns and Spalding have proven it. None of those starters lives within 2 miles of those schools. The best kids may live within 30 miles of DC or Baltimore, but they will play wherever the grass is greenest regardless of conference or tradition or anything else.

If the DC schools open their purses, the MIAA disappears.

This is a comically bad take. Family traditions run strong in MIAA and the lacrosse programs at most of the schools have been around far longer than WCAC. None of the kids from North Baltimore area (with a plethora of excellent academic/sports school options) is going to commute all the way to the DC area for a few dollars.
