While you have good points, I would like to say that making money is not unaligned with the goal of teaching as many people as possible. It seems like a good strategy is to develop high-quality material by starting off teaching only those able to pay. This lets some subsidize the development of more open course material. If they haven’t gotten to the point where they have released the subsidized material, then I’d give them some more time and judge them again in some years. It’s a young organization trying to create material from scratch in many areas.
