I know there are training companies that charge.
You also have workshops as part of paid conferences but I assume the vast bulk of those workshops are done for free by people being paid by their employer. And Meetups are usually free with the same people from companies along with those showing off or promoting some side project.
I agree with your general point around teaching/training. It's just that you're competing with a lot of free content, often subsidized by some company's product sales.
