What are some precious information in ACM.org that is not possible to get another place? I mean in this age where everything is so public. Or not? I used to have a 1 year free access to all of ACM resources. This was a gift. But I did not to anything. Maybe I lost an opportunity.

Not everything. A lot. But stuff published this year still hasn't made its way there. And not all social sciences.

(When I need something I can't get through my library, #icanhazpdf, find on scihub, or other googley means; I just email the author. Though that can take some time.)

In my experience, the only hole in shadow libraries is that they lack scans of old papers on non-trendy subjects. Interestingly, it seems the humanities don't have analogously useful sites.

What if you needed to link to a paper on your company's website? You'd link to sci-hub?

I think you are overestimating how available high-quality information. Low quality, misinformation, disinformation - that is all widely available.
