Yep, it’s pretty slick. They give you just enough to play a vanilla character through to max. Fully knowing once someone gets the roleplaying bug, there’s no settling for vanilla.
To clarify: The freely accessible races/subraces, classes (which is all of the non-UA ones), subclasses, monsters, and spells are either in the freely available Systems Reference Document or the free Elemental Evil Player's Companion PDF - or, as of January 2018, in freely available Unearthed Arcana PDFs released since then (that haven't then been published). The items that aren't free are the ones that appear in the PHB (that aren't in the SRD), or any content from the other published books.
Basically, only content that's actually freely available from WotC is freely available on DNDBeyond. Most of the subclasses you mention are in the PHB but not in the SRD, and the Zealot barbarian subclass is from Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
Why is it that subclasses like wild mage sorcerer, zealot barbarian, archfey patron warlocks, and many others need to be purchased?
Because they are not given for free by WotC.
neat
