I feel like this is a problem everywhere. I notice it every day in front-end development. Library/tools documentation almost always open with a "quick start guide", completely skipping over the question of "why". It then goes on to launch into step by step tutorials that are 90% code examples.
Code is nice, but it's hardly the whole story. Very few people seem to be able to explain the "why" behind the solution they're pushing on you. There's so much great code out there that is totally useless because of bad docs, or worse, is constantly mis-used by the community at large because nobody ever stops to ask "why".
