The problem is trust. I'm hesitant to hand out my e-mail anywhere because far too often I have been hounded by salespeople as a result, not to mention data breaches or bombardment of newsletters.
So just use Google to obtain the documentation? Or a fake email? The PDFs are pretty easily obtainable by title:

If I really need something I'll go that route, yes. But for something that is just on a "cool, that might be interesting" it's too much effort.
Exactly!
If I need it I will go do the thing and jump through the hoop.
If I am exploring, hell no.
And, next week, if that thing I was exploring turns out to be useful, congratulations, you just sold 100,000 chips.
