...people aren't really used to leaving their bubble and searching for information at the source, especially when the source is a foreign culture/language/platform.

Are you sure that "lack of information" isn't just a skill issue here?

I'm sure that's a factor, but I'm talking about the lack of official statements. Maybe there have been such statements and I don't know about it – in which case, someone can hopefully link to a report of one of the statements.
