This makes many docs follow the pattern of a more complex design when its completely unnecessary. All just to get more "perf points" from the people that only have time to skim through the docs.

I read many docs that, to me, obviously made up a decision and showcased the thing we already wanted by the time the doc was started, and 2+ silly alternatives (at least one way too simple and an unnecessary overkill) and contrasted them to pick the thing that was reasonable.
