I think it would have been worth telling the viewers about the Pro Elements plugin that makes most of the Pro elements of Elementor available (a few proprietary ideas not coverable on the GNU Licensing are still not available, but the vast majority are). This is free, legal, and fully featured, auto-updating, etc.
Gutenberg is easily 5 years behind Elementor. The functionality of Gutenberg is so limited it's beyond frustrating. I've tried so hard with Gutenberg and have only recently moved to Elementor, but I so wish I'd moved sooner.
