ah yes, i still remember that in 2001, what a golden year for Tesla company, silly little musk was only leeching off the success of our beloved pre-owned tesla company in 2001.
if you are an unskilled worker, your negotiating power is limited

unless there was any legal contract with specific terms and agreement between employers and employee beforehand, this will always be a free market thing, but what kind of market are you proposing? is it a market where everyone work the same job and shit on the same pants?
Absolute beginners seems like the wrong end to focus on if you want to actually be helpful. That stage lasts a couple of days at most. Every step you progress through requires more effort.
Of course content creators typically focus on beginners because there are always more beginners than intermediates, which is why there is so much shallow beginner content flooding the market in basically any conceivable topic.
As you progress into more intermediate and expert understanding there's more and more nuance, which makes it harder to write good material anyway because there's always more you didn't cover.
Still, your observation is why Jon Gjengset's "Crust of Rust" series was created:
Crust of Rust is not intended for people who didn't write any programs before, or even for people who've written a bunch of C++ but now are interested in learning Rust (actually those people might be successful with a fairly self-guided approach to get from zero to non-trivial program). Instead it's intended for the people who're beyond beginner but have specific things they don't "get". The first one is "Lifetime annotations" which is exactly the sort of thing that years of experience in BASIC, Javascript and C++ won't help with.
