Agreed. I have taught at 3 different colleges and have never experienced this. The closest I have came is when Cengage wanted us to use their online platform and they bought us Panera. We went with OER.
I refuse to use any of the drmed proprietary online platforms. As someone else asked, yes, the textbook publishers do frequently provide quiz banks and powerpoints but they typically are garbage. I use few of their quiz questions and have to edit and adjust their PowerPoint slides because they don't emphasize what I want to emphasize and often use shitty transitions or have too much text on each slide. If that is a bribe it is a shitty one.
