You have been objecting, as far as I can tell, to third-party authors
controlling the distribution of materials that supplement the
vendor's user manuals. These materials may simply explain how to use
the equipment more effectively, or may help with certification.
You have made it sound as if the third-party authors somehow have no
right to benefit from their knowledge, and their ability to express
it better than the vendor manual. Some vendors, I have found, are so
invested in their documentation standards that they have lost sight
of usability.
