Their terseness and technicality are simply a necessity to squeeze that completeness into a comprehensible amount of text.

man pages are reference documentation. This means their intent is not to teach you to use the tool but rather to fill in the gaps: be a complete, authoritative list of what the tool can possibly do. Tutorials and reference documentation are both useful and complement each other, they are simply intended for different use cases.

"what problem are you trying to solve here?" - Easy. The proponents assert that such questions are not welcome here and thus shall not be answered and shall be deleted. And are asking for a <s>banhammer</s> tool to facilitate that goal. Downvotes don't quite do the trick: they do not prevent answers or incite deletion, do not provide a streamlined way to inform the asker (for a problem of such magnitude, a streamlined solution is needed) and for a newcomer with 1 rep, neither do they matter points-wise -- have no effect for the purpose of the goal, in brief.

When I give an answer that boils down to googling, I mention this and the phrase I was searching on so the OP learns how to get such answers themselves rather than ask people every time ("give a man a fish...") - and to subtly shame them if they already know how to do that. E.g.: "According to (page), the 1st in Google on (phrase),...". In fact, this isn't limited to googling: I describe any research involved in working out the answer if I feel the OP is likely to be unfamiliar with relevant techniques.
