What are you on about?

The point of education is a) (before higher levels of education) general education and b) learn skills that help you in your life and work.

For the latter examples being critical thinking or understanding causality. Drawing conclusions that need thinking deeper than the surface. Being patient.

There are ”side products” too, such as emotional growth or learning and coming to accept that sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do.

At higher levels of education the point is still to learn but it’s less broad and about more specific subject. You still refine the related skills. The side products also still exist.

Sorry, referring to the internet as "education" is a new one to me. I agree, that is the point of the internet. I thought you were talking about formal education.
