Fair enough and as mentioned this was Slackware and the maintainer, Patrick, is known to have a fondness for BSD so maybe his influence can be seen here. For what it's worth the Slackware page does have an Examples section so it's not exactly what your seeing on Ubuntu but the examples themselves may be the same. As mentioned there are only three but they are probably the three examples needed most by 95% of users. And, since I wasn't clear in my previous post, I absolutely agree about info. It may have been a nice thought when hypertext based systems were young and new things needed to be tried but it should have quietly died by now IMHO.
