these are all folks you wouldn't think twice about if someone hired, why would a gaming coach be any different? Heck, I wouldn't mind a few tips myself so that I'm not always the last on the scoreboard with my sons.
Because generally there's zero return on a gaming coach. So what, you can flex in some public lobbies on your friends, outside of that, nothing.

Driving instructor has real world, tangible benefits outside of becoming better. You can be a safer driver on the road. Physical training in general, or in a specific discipline is also the same, there are other tangible real world benefits to it.

Just pretty blown away that there are people willing to toss money to a video game coach just to beat their friends.
