My only eyebrow-raise was at all the wealthier people who go to AA. There are a lot of broke-ass people at AA. If you can acquire alcohol you can get to an AA meeting.
Bigger question: is it a generally difficult problem to analyze like, “this thing claims to help, but only people who are motivated will do it, so we can’t really tell if it further acts positively on motivated people or if it’s a total useless thing?” Like if I’m motivated to learn and I read a book and get smarter you wouldn’t exactly say the book did nothing, even if the main thing is the motivation level of the learner, not the availability of the book.
