In my experience, there’s a vast difference between “education” aimed at the individual and what is delivered in accredited academic courses. The commercial aspect / tailoring to get people to buy and stick with it / no doubt is a factor.

To me that is in large part explained by the fact that most MOOCs are introductory, unlike most graduate courses.
