Putting aside the "So you hate waffles?" non-sequitur, surely the entire topic of this thread should be a bit of a hint that this misguided policy has not, in fact, "[made sure] courses are fully accessible".

This is only true if you can find someone else selling them at cost.
If a company has a product that cost them $150, but they would ordinarily sell piecemeal for a total of $250, getting a stable recurring purchase at $200 might be worthwhile to them while still being a good deal for the customer.
> Social media is just advertising that avoided regulation by being on the internet. Now it's rediscovering why public broadcasting laws are necessary.
Weirdly, online advertising is in some cases more restricted than traditional broadcasting. I've never seen a movie pause half-way through so someone can go "By the way, Microsoft paid us $5,000,000 to feature this extremely close-up shot of a Surface with the branding visible", but that's a legal requirement for YouTube videos containing sponsored content.
On the other hand, this interface is for people who have a current typing speed of approximately 0 WPM (or ~8 WPM if they were lucky enough to have the previous leading BCI technology available to them). So it's all about perspective.
Pretty much all of the time I'm typing natural language (chat apps, emails, writing this comment here) I'm going to be limited more by my typing speed (~120WPM) than by the speed at which I can think of the words I want to type.
A pretty trivial demonstration of this is that I can talk much faster than I can type, and I would expect that you can too.
The claim wasn't that they never have security flaws, the claim was that they almost certainly have fewer security flaws than the alternative self-hosted solution someone named MastodonFan87 comes up with.
