I was under the impression flex funding implies they had all the resources they needed. So even an order for 1 unit will get built because they are already building it.

You're missing the more cynical angle: they don't have enough to make the product, *and* they don't think they'd reach the goal in a traditional crowdfunding model.
With this they take what they can get, but the product may not get made until/if they get more funding from somewhere else.
