I got downvoted into oblivion a few weeks ago for suggesting something similar about car manuals. I’m glad to see that the sentiment isn’t totally lost. I honestly don’t get why people don’t read the fucking manual.
I could jump in any car my family has owned, starting with great-grandad’s push-button transmission up to 2005 and instantly intuit the controls and go. You’d need the manual later for maintenance, but you could drive just fine. Now, you gotta read the manual.
I read every manual, but I’m skimming and skipping, looking for what I don’t know. Maybe people have opened enough manuals that spent the first 4 pages, “Don’t do stupid shit.” and gave up.

Cause it takes time and effort. Most people just pay someone else to read the manual.
How is paying somebody else to read the manual going to help you operate the cruise control while going down the interstate at 85MPH?
