Agreed.
Do you know how is decided what courses are uploaded? Some courses like 6.046 only have recordings from 2015, but the field and the teaching probably advanced since then.

I would argue 6.046 doesn't necessarily represent the bleeding edge of algorithms. For the most advanced/modern, there's the graduate-level course, 6.854: https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.854/21/course_materials.html
(The 2021 videos are on Youtube, unlisted.)
From having researched things a bit myself, you need (at least) an in-class cameraperson to film the entire lecture and then you need post-processing. You need TV-grade equipment, for both audio and video. You need to ensure that the room is noise-free and has good lighting. The instructor ideally also needs to be aware of the recording (at the very least, they should at least not be standing between the camera and the board).
