It also misses anyone else looking to learn.

Self study folks, anyone without a bootcamp connected to a sales team, non traditional schools ... you're out.

I remember changing careers and studying and a lot of sites promised free stuff but if you weren't connected to whomever they worked with / a traditional school you were kinda SOL unless you wanted to go begging on twitter or something like that.

Granted I get they don't want to just be handing out mass quantities of free stuff too / I'm sure people abuse that to no end.

Disagree. Traditionally you pay for education through property taxes or tuition or whatever. A determined person in this field can cough up $20 a month for a very capable server.

When I was young and poor 40 years ago, to teach myself programming I spent all my money on books that cost $35 a pop at least, which would be something like $100 in today’s money.

I don’t know what you’re disagreeing with.
