I think it might be simpler?

The more complex products are the only ones that typically have any documentation or up to date learning resources.

You want to learn how to build a thing and this is the only thing that really exists, is up to date, and works.

It may not be the right tool, but for someone new it's impossible to tell what the right tool is and people online are stereotypically obtuse and about anything tool related.
