I find your take outrageous.
People still read manpages, and some developers still write good ones (see swaywm).
For me, manpages have been the most natural way to read documentation for the last 10 years. They're way better than a web browser, because I don't have to leave the terminal, they work offline, they document the version you have installed, etc.

Until I started dealing with cloud, the vast majority of software I dealt with had good manpages.
With cloud stuff, they weren't replaced with web docs (those usually exist in parallel whether you have mabpages or not). They were replaced with --help (or docker help, kubectl explain, etc) which sucks because everyone does it differently.
