1) the cap is currently not limiting for the system as a whole, as the proportion is around 16%
2) It also includes a per-campus 20% cap, with raised caps for campuses that are already above 20%. So Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD will be prevented from raising their nonresident proportions, and new growth will be redirected to schools like Merced (only 1% nonresident students).
My personal observation: no evidence is presented that nonresident admissions reduce the absolute number of Californians the system can support.
