Heh that's a very cynical view and it speaks to me. But my first thought was that this will make me choose AWS over alternatives because I've found the docs for GCP very confusing and sometimes outdated.

But regarding why people would bother helping. Well I guess it's the same reason some people help out with wikipedia. Not all of them do it for ideological reasons. Some are just very nitpicky and anal.
