Every attempt at teaching IT history I was subject to, was clouded so much with personal opinions and attitudes that it was anecdotal and preachy.

I think assessing piece of hardware/software is much more difficult and time consuming than art. So there are no people with really broad experience.

Your experience with bad teachers seems more like an argument in favor of better education than against it. It's possible to develop better teaching material and methods if there is focus on a subject, even if it's time consuming.

If only one genius in California can do it well, it's as good as impossible.

Not really, you only need one really good teacher who can put their knowledge into written or video form so it's easily shared with others. It actually only takes one great mind.
