I don’t think thats what’s happening here. Providing online documentation thats easy to read, easy to navigate has become quite standard of all kinda of projects and systems. My main programming environment is a mac so Im certainly not gonna have the locally installed docs anyway.

Not only does a good online documentation make it easier to understand for an individual, but it makes it easy to share links etc to others to help them understand too. And the easier it is to comprehend, the better.

iOS is not a target for systemd, and the building blocks of a *nix system probably are not the building blocks of iOS.

God forbid developers package their software considering the needs of users that don't have 24/7 internet access. If it wasn't clear from my previous statement, this is what I wanted to express by the "mindset that everything is a web-application".
