It does, but no profit doesn't mean low salary.
As a managing director of a German non-profit gGmbH, I can tell you that you can and may make a lot of profit. It's just about how and in what period the profits must be used.
Well you certainly can't pay out profit, right? No dividends.

Of course the org can make money and keep it for later.

You can pay out profits on top of your salary. As long as its "Marktgerecht".
A non-profit organization is a group organized for purposes other than generating profit and in which no part of the organization's income is distributed to its members, directors, or officers. Nonprofits run like a business and try to earn a profit, which does not support any single member.
