You can tell it's written by real Linux users because the landing page UX doesn't make it immediately obvious where to even start reading.

Idk what to tell you if the “welcome to Linux from scratch” header wasn’t enough of a hint

I thought the parent comment was missing something obvious too but if you click the top link in that section, it’s a page describing LFS but without linking to its content. Then I clicked the “Read online” link on the menu on the left, but the top links are errata and security advisories and then the main link. Not the worst navigation I’ve seen but the parent comment does have a point.

My journey was: Start off by clicking LFS among the links, and then "Read online" in the sidebar, and then being lost. I see a header, "Current Stable" but I can't see the link to the actual book. I only see the errata, the security advisory and a link labelled... stable LFS systemd? Maybe it's that one? Yes, yes it is.

it's like their brain is unaware of the concept of a timeline

So Linux users are by definition, eternal.

... At the top? You're expected to read all of it! :)

Took me half a second to realize I would probably start with "LFS :: Linux From Scratch is the main book, the base from which all other projects are derived."

You mean the link to a page which _also_ doesn't have the main book?

It's a link to the project page for the main book and it does a good job of explaining itself and the available resources. I guess the biggest issue is it's not immediately obvious the left navigation menu changes between the project and subproject landing pages.
