My university provides access to top-of-the-line audio and video editing software and computers for students to use. It also has a fantastic internet connection, a large research library, and numerous other small amenities that help students practice and learn. Those could be cut, and would be cut in a price war, and yet doing so would not be advantageous to students in the long run. As for whether universities are a good way to provide education: I don't think they are for everyone. Many people do better when they can work on their own, at the pace they need. But for some people that's overwhelming and too unguided. Plus, in-person access to expert professors can be great for independent research and projects.
