There are much easier ways of making money if you're in their position. Teaching and preparing for a set of seminars like this is time-consuming and most likely exhausting. If they were in it for money, they could be doing much better.

Those are the only two pieces that require extra work. They don't need to spend time on content creation, finding a market, or marketing in general. They have an audience, they know that audience has deep pockets, and they'll tell that audience the same damn thing they've been saying for 10 years. The only difference is the format and the price.
This argument is such bullshit. "If they were really in it for the money they'd be doing X" is giving them and anyone in that position too much credit.
Sometimes people, even successful people don't have all the answers to effectively make a "money printing machine."
