They intentionally make Urbit obscure, for reasons explained in the UR post introducing the idea 2011. It basically has to do with keeping out people who are a net drain on a new software project (software entryists, "developer evangelists", etc.).

If their goal is to never gain enough momentum to make this more than a toy project, then that makes sense.

Personally it annoys the fuck out of me.
