> only these four categories on their docs page

Only? For many projects having a medium quality version of just one of those would be an improvement.

----

Where the approach hits a wall in practice I think is when there is a lack of interconnection between the quadrants. E.g. for software frameworks, if the guides lack links to the references for specific classes/methods (which you ultimately will have to use), that makes exploring the surrounding context a lot harder. I have a few concrete frameworks in mind where there is a split along the quadrants and that's one of the biggest annoyances about their docs.
