Learning materials are under lock and key and people need education.
We desperately need more and better scientists yet publishing houses hold them hostage.
Hundreds of thousands of lives are being wasted working on the legal systems in place to protect a few huge companies profits.
In just the last 20 years there has probably been more free learning materials produced, than in the last 5000 years, and we can translate them all in to nearly any language instantly for free thanks to LLMs. There is no shortage of materials, we just need more people to point young people in their direction. MIT's entire computer science courses have been freely available on youtube since ~2008 and they're quite good and updated moderately frequently (more than is neccessary)
Learning materials are more available to more people, especially people without resources, than at any point in the preceding 150 years. That expansion of material and access to material occurred during a historic expansion of copyright.

And that is just from the top of my head.
