For the same reason it hasn't been included for the past 25 years or so: manufacturers don't know what software you will be running, so rather than including manuals on EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM IN EXISTENCE, FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME (AND CHARGING YOU FOR IT), they treat the consumer like an adult and let them pay only for what they need. Every laptop sold doesn't include a case, or insurance, or lifetime service either.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Computers have lacked any type of manual for DECADES, so this should be no surprise to you. Reasons include saving money, saving on weight, unnecessary and "looking" easier. In fact, Steve Jobs explicitly aimed for this last with the original Macintosh in 1984, envisioning a machine so intuitive it needed no instructions and stating he wanted a computer users could learn in 20 minutes. Also, what a beginner needs is not what an experienced person requires, as well as what programs should be emphasized: do people need to know Word or Excel more? How about neither, but PowerPoint is essential? Or maybe none of these, but overclocking without damage is vital? And what do they need to tell you about scanning if you will never, ever scan a photo or document in your life? On the plus side, the publishing industry and various companies have made a fortune on books and courses that are hand-tailored to your exact requirements. Microsoft, YouTube, and various user forums (such at Reddit) will also "talk" you through multiple scenarios. Finally, some activities are almost as simple plug and play--you don't need to know anything! A standout in this is with printers: basically any printer will work with any computer, right out of the box: just connect and turn on power.
