Libraries are nice but a library that contains all uploaded texts is better. Why do we not yet have access to this library?

Mostly we do. Sometimes we have to pay a little money. Sometimes we have to pay a lot of money.
Kind of like cheeseburgers, you raise the cow and bake the bread and pay less for the finished cheeseburger, but you work harder and wait longer to get it.
You pay for the ingredients or you pay more for the already prepared cheeseburger.
Or perhaps you steal a cheese burger from a kid and pay in shame and degardation.
Maybe you find a cheeseburger on the street or in a dumpster and maybe it doesn't make you sick, but you pay in worrying that it will.
Probably wasting my words here, but to be really content you have to be fair to the rest of the world. If you have to keep spouting the same sad nonsense in order to try and get approval/justification from others you are not happy with yourself.
You cannot condone your actions and keep trying to corrupt others thinking that will justify you.
