I agree with you. Everything this person is struggling with is well documented on the parent class. A basic understanding of OOP is all that's needed to use this documentation and this dialog. Are they mad at Java docs? Or C# docs? Or any other OOP doc that follows the same pattern of not repeating the parent's documention on the subclass unless the subclass adds to it.

The charitable view would be that they come from language/platform that does include the base-class's methods/apis. Your example of dotnet/C# doesn't seem to be the best - DotNet/C# repeats the base documentation - for example the SaveFileDialog class [1] lists all of the methods but indicates when the methods come from the base class. Flutter also seems to list inherited methods - for example the TextButton [2].
