I am not sure technical publications and niche developer blogs are aiming for being maximally inclusive. Case in point, show me one systems programming book, however specific, that has the spec information on low-level ABI, or details on executable header formats.
Off the top of my head: "Windows 95 Secrets". Have another?
Any Unix internals book, even assembly books, with ELF or Mach-O details? the most they ever go is cover C calling conventions.
Challenging your readers is not being inclusive, it's being opaque and sloppy, leaving important details as an "exercise to the reader". Good books hold you accountable to the knowledge they contain, you're expected to take it and dig deeper.
