I offer 5 theories for that: 1) those attendees (or their employers) seek certificates; 2) they seek either socialisation or social adaptation for next stage of their careers; 3) they can't learn without teacher's lead and supervision; 4) they need really fast-track learning; 5) they need a collection of implementation patterns; I think that vast majority of attendees of those courses fall to first 3 categories, and that most of the courses actually can't give more than that needed for those 3 categories. But when Lutz said "costs nothing" he surely assumed an experienced programmer, who is already proficient in C, and certainly most attendees of first 3 categories do not qualify for that criteria. And regarding courses that are given for free - oh, yes, there are plenty of them - for example, I recently received notification from ACM about availability of 150 (or even 300? I don't remember) online courses for those languages/environments, which are (or most of them are) free for ACM members (and ACM membership isn't very expensive).
