Please elaborate and/or show an example. > For instance, the GNU Manuals Online is arranged by a limited number of categories. > See https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html This has about 40 categories: not a far cry from our 54 chapters. To look for some subject, one is supposed to use the Info-index command, bound to 'i' inside Info. There's no need to look up subjects by reading the chapter titles.
