You're looking at school wrong. There is a HUGE push right now in the library system to get these things, and they're getting funding for it.

It's funny. I know my high school robotics program took library technology funds to buy robots and parts one year. While the teachers thought the ROI was good, I'm still surprised that nobody villain-ified it as "robotics programs are stealing from textbook money".
