A Question I Can't Answer- Instruction Manuals

Why did the world give up on writing instruction manuals?
              -Ever tried to read one for a device that you have very little understanding of?
              -How long would it have to be to cover every question that one might ask?
              -How would you phrase each question?  What vocab should you use? How much detail would be 
               necessary?


My guess?

My experience? 
Writing instructions is very hard.  


My observations:
Frequently asked questions, crowd-sourced answers, and technical support have replaced them.
