ELI5: Why does the American college education system seem to be at odds with the students?

All major colleges being certified to the same standard, do not accept each other's classes. Some classes that do transfer only transfer to "minor" programs and must be take again. My current community college even offers some completely unaccredited degrees, yet its the "highest rated" and, undoubtedly, the biggest in the state. It seems as though it's all a major money mad dash with no concern for the people they are providing a service for.  Why is it this way? What caused this change?

In a word, capitalism. A college is a business, and the primary goal of the business is to make money. Your education comes second to profit.
