I think you are deliberately missing the point of the last line. Of course free access to a wide variety of education is a good thing - no one is doubting that.
But gatekeeping recognition for that education behind a paywall ensures that we are judging students not solely on their ability, but also on the size of their wallet.
There is nothing "anti-human" about acknowledging that, in an educational era of plenty, our systems are still failing those without the means to pay.
