Most schools in this tier are public. You already mention 1/4 of the 16 privates in this tier. But Emory, Georgetown, Notre Dame, WashU give some, and NYU and BU give lots…
We are talking about schools that promise to meet full financial need, not give some.

International applicants skew male. This means that male domestic applicants are even less common than thought.

Cite? Can also think of many SLACs that do this. Meanwhile, whether they promise to meet need for “all,” once accepted, or actually do so only for “most” makes little difference for purposes of why so many internationals (most of whom need aid) are applying.
I walked through a US news list and checked myself. Caveat, it was not the 2023 ranking and it was a cursory website look.
Schools in the top 60 that promise to meet full financial need for admitted internationals (may be need aware)
top 20s: Princeton MIT Stanford Yale Harvard UChicago JohnsHopkins UPenn Caltech Duke Northwestern Dartmouth Brown Rice Cornell Columbia
beyond top 20: Tufts URochester Brandeis UMiami
Private universities in the top 60-ish that do not promise to meet full financial need for admitted internationals (whether they offer any need-based financial aid to internationals at all, or not): Vanderbilt WashU NotreDame Emory Georgetown CMU NYU USC WakeForest BostonCollege BostonUniversity Tulane CaseWestern Lehigh RPI Villanova Northeastern Pepperdine SantaClaraU Syracuse
And of course the public top 60s do not offer need-based aid to internationals: UCLA UCBerkeley UMichigan UVA UF UNC UCSB UCI UCSD UWisconsin UTAustin UCD UIUC W&M GeorgiaTech UGA OhioState Purdue FSU UMD Rutgers UWashington VT UMN Pitt
Again, this is a red herring. The real issue is the number of international students admitted because they are full pay, which occurs at all the selective schools, even those that are need blind for domestic students.

Geographic diversity diid not become a fetish out of no where. In an older Supreme Court ruling, colleges were allowed to continue looking at race, as long as they looked for other forms of diversity. Geographic diversity was explicitly named as one route the colleges could take that would allow them to continue using AA for race. I’m not sure if the infatuation with diversity of geographic origin will continue now that it now longer serves a different goal.

Also, most schools have not yet published their 2023-2024 CDS. (CMU CDS page for those interested, https://www.cmu.edu/ira/CDS/index.html)

As has been repeatedly said, very few schools give financial aid to international students.
However although full pay is not a hook for American students at most top schools, it absolutely is for international students, and most top schools are filling their classes with 10-20 percent full pay international students. It absolutely is a reason domestic admissions have become so competitive.
