But that's the whole point...

When things that previously took hundreds of hours of effort to learn now become available with just a few minutes, they become available to all -- even those without all that extra time, which is most people who have a lot of other competing priorities in their lives.

That's democratization.

I don't understand why you're trying to argue against that. It's a dictionary definition. It's just a meaning of the word.

Whatever you seem to be upset about is something else, I don't know what.
