Without AI, it was really hard to get to understand some docs. Today if you don't use AI for these situations shrugs

Most cases it is not that docs author forgot users wont have same toolchains. Simply do not bother reducing config files to share just source code. Indirectly pushing users to make use of same tools.

Hopefully in 20 years no one will be going to check the source code of anything, and programming is elevated even more.

50 years is crazy amount of time, to stay this primitive. Tech shouldn't just evolve for end users.
