The only catch is that Leon is doing this for free. So there are no guarantees he will continue to do so, or continue with the same commitment.
If something is free and grows super large as a result, there is a cost to managing the community, the dozens of questions a day, the random people spamming, getting those people web dev jobs, adjusting the curriculum continuously as AI replaces a lot of the "Shopify developer" type jobs. If at some point he doesn't want to do it, doesn't raise funding to pay amazing people, or can't find amazing people to do it for free, it might degrade the experience.
Leon might have a lot of gas on the tank, but it's just a risk, and there are lots of risks with paid programs too.
