C'mon, that's an unnecessarily cynical take. The offers in the student pack are here: https://education.github.com/pack

You can see that there's a lot of overlap and that these offers cover very broad sections of the industry. This gives students the opportunity to explore and develop immediately employable skillsets without impacting their already limited budgets.

True, but that applies as much to their $200k figure.

The stuff that's worth using has free or cheaper alternatives anyway.

As a student, I am hoping the company that I will work for later will pay for it.

At the same time, I am also aware of free and cheaper alternatives for some of the options there.
