Ask HN: Why are the FAANG tech support forums often useless?

Examples of tech/customer support forums that are useless:

- Apple (see [1])

- Microsoft (see [2])

- Google (see [3])

I often find better answers on SO, SU, and other stack websites. Hell, even independent blogs have better solutions. Why, then, can't these giant companies improve the quality of their forums?
