The original author of that manual, Robert J. Chassell.  This text was
there since before the Introduction was added to the Emacs repository.

I'm not sure.  The whole manual is written in that style, so doing

that?  What exactly is wrong with that style, in an introductory text
that is meant to take the reader by the hand and lead him/her through
the magic of Emacs Lisp?
