The background of W3Schools is that it is an advertisement money grabber which used to have very misleading information on how to build the web. They live by putting a lot of effort into SEO so that they keep staying on top of Google search queries and thus easy to find for those who don't know what they stand for. They also milk money with their name that resembles the official W3C while not having anything to do with them (they sell worthless diplomas). This is another reason why W3Schools has a bad reputation and why people don't like the site.
In my eyes this is just another example of how business centered on making money first results into questionable results when it comes to content. If I were to put money into learning programming I'd certainly consider almost any other place.
Maybe in the future W3Schools business model crumbles when privacy laws make it hard or impossible to make money by tracking people and their interests on the web.
