Also in edtech. I mostly agree with your points here.
My personal opinion is that for some sort of meaningful disruption to happen, ed tech entrepreneurs will have to craft their tools such that they are focused on the end user being the student and what their ultimate needs are. I would also say that the company/idea would need some way to start attacking credentialism and challenge the status quo (university degrees) which also mean you have to factor in the needs of employers.
The truth is most people won't bother with learning much of anything unless they are monetarily incentivized by employment prospects or outright money of some sort.
I would also say it is probably better to craft your product/service on third world countries like India or China which might have easier barriers to crack and at the same time these countries might be responsive to a disruptive ed tech idea as these emerging powers seek to compete with the USA's education dominance.
