> Ideally, high quality education would be democratized and made accessible to anyone who want it
It pretty much is. Hardvard undergraduate classes aren’t substantially higher quality than at many other state schools.

It seems like you based what you said on some vague notion of prestige, but if you look at the courses offered/required, the topics covered, and the books used of any of the schools I listed, you’ll see it’s effectively the same education as Harvard and the rest.
Unless you think there’s something magical about the professors at Harvard that enables them to teach undergraduate classes far better than professors at state schools, there’s no reason to assume the classes are any higher quality.
