Hello.Seattle.This.is.Adept.Omega.the.fuzzy.organic.squishbag.
That's probably part of it. There probably was a time when reading the documentation was enough to answer most common questions.
But we kept that part of the culture, and lost the part of the culture that thoroughly and clearly documented its software.
And I genuinely believe that the FOSS business model of giving away the software while selling the support has a lot to do with it.
And yeah, part of this goes back to #deletefacebook
Facebook is user hostile.
But it's larger than that.
Modern Windows, MacOS, and even Ubuntu have some user hostile behaviors baked in.
And in the FOSS world the only real successful business model has been "give away the software, sell the support" which means that their is an incentive in FOSS to keep the documentation technical and complicated.
RTFM culture is user hostile behavior.

아 제발, the Korean Air people walked in RIGHT into the fursuit parade, I'm so sorry
in the end what matters is some level of dopamine in my brain, not life or my opinion on it
but isn't that the worse part
Regular reminder: "legal name" is a very boring sounding phrase.
It sounds WAY cooler if you call it your "government alias"
