Everything has opportunity cost and therefore constraints. I feel like you are oblivious to this.
If I'm going to audit whatever classes I want, why would I even enroll in the university? Chances are if I asked nicely I could sit in, talk to the professors and even use some facilities.
Part of the package with university is the structure. If you're saying people should throw that away, why are they even going to university?
University is almost always "worth it" in terms of absolute gain, but I think its alpha over other approaches is very dubious when it comes to how much you will learn and improve your skillset. Depending on your goals, it can be a very poor learning environment.
