Economically speaking, that isn't true of everyone, particularly those with low incomes and few immediate work opportunities. Sometimes people are money-poor and time-rich, so it makes sense for them to spend time rather than money on these books. (Presumably with the hope that the skills they acquire can then be used to move into a money-rich industry.)

If you can't afford a $100 textbook then you have to go to alternatives (renting, public library, free alternatives, etc.)
