The thing is that there is literally nothing to teach. This isnt teaching but babysitting.
Can make the same argument for school.
But if that was true, Day9 wouldn't have made the name for himself that he did.
I think you're forgetting what the early days of sc2 were like for you.
There are always things to teach, at all levels. Not everyone has been around since Wings/Beta. Not everyone watches streams/tournies 24/7.
These people have more to learn. And yeah, they can go watch tournies. But, they can also get a coach to help'em out and guide them. And honestly, a lot of the time coaches suggest doing that stuff.
But, half the kids I've coached didn't even know about shit like TL. Hell, I didn't really use TL until I was big into sc2.
Coaching also works as a form of motivation for some people. And you can argue whatever you want about that but, when people have goals/plans or even want to be ready for coaching /practice what coach said they're more likely to do it. Once you pay for something, you're often more committed too.
