The whole point of documentation though is for it to be complete, technical and well explained. Not to have copy-pastable examples.

W3schools is neither good documentation or good examples though.

When I need to change a car's oil, I don't need a complete, detailed overview of the entire lubrication system. There is a place for all kinds of documentation, but exhaustive explanation is often less preferable to a quick "how do I do this."
I disagree, both are valuable. It all depends on what you need in the moment.
