You're entirely right. I don't use recipe sites very often, and yet it still happens often enough that I have to keep scrolling and reading on different sites to get past the backstory

There's also sometimes a button for the "Printer Version" of the recipe which is very much no fluff.

Ex. Above all the fluff is the word "Print" in a yellow box [1] which takes you to a no fluff page [2].
