I'm a technical writer. I have felt this a lot myself. It is very comforting to know that the man pages are always there if I need them. Same with the Rust docs. And Beej's Guide to C Programming (I downloaded the PDF). Conversely, it kinda sucks to have to rely on a website to get info. I will kick off a discussion around offline docs in the technical writer communities that I'm part of.
