Dumb question - and I'm not trying diminish the achievement here, I just genuinely don't understand:
Why would people want to spend $200 to train a coding model when there are free coding models?

This is a great question. You definitely aren't training this to use it, you're training it to understand how things work. It's an educational project, if you're interested in experimenting with things like distributed training techniques in JAX, or preference optimisation, this gives you a minimal and hackable library to build on.
