Why are blender docs and related advice either horrendously outdated or plain wrong? (sh.itjust.works)

No matter how often i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.

And when im lucky enough to find something i actually need, the advice is just plainwrong (most recently the knife tool and cut-through, literally wrong information)

got another example from literally just now: trying to set up a toon shader, doesnt work as expected (to be fair that ones on me for thinking it should be easy) way too complicated when actually set up as instructed: doesnt look like advertised, doesnt even work as several pictures and videos have shown

shit like this, constantly, is why it feel that im constantly being surrounded by wall with no way out, its ALWAYS the same, its no wonder barely anybody does 3d work
