They do write their own courses and textbooks but only at the most prestigious schools. If you're going to fucking MIT or Harvard yeah sure, but at some no-name state school in bumfuck why bother.

In literally anywhere in the world except america profs would just tell you to rip it from libgen and mock you if you actually bought the $5000 book. I feel bad for burgers for being forced to buy expensive books just so the rest of the world can freely pirate it.

Used this book for a proof workshop class and it's one of the most nicely written math books I've read. On top of that, it has a permissible license. Another book I found extremely useful was pic related.
