Open source textbooks are an intriguing idea - basically like Wikipedia but in print.
Then you just have to figure out how to gate the nutters from editing, and a tremendous amount of cooperative oversight to ensure the record is factual.
The challenge is that so many people choose to live divorced from objective reality.
I would use LibreTexts in college as a supplementary resource when my assigned textbook was confusing or lacking. At least for math topics they are great.
