I'm not sure whether the issue is stack complexity / depth, but there is definitely something in the culture where it's common for docs and how-tos and Q/A to tell you what to do, the steps/commands/etc, but to do little to help you build any kind of relevant domain model.

This isn't exactly new, there's always been documentation like this, but I think the proportions have changed dramatically since even the early 2000s.

One of my vaguely defined theories is that as valuable as automation is, the culture of automation / process has started to diffuse and act as an influence on how we think, in steps & commands rather than models.

Possible that we've always been steps-results / input-output beings, but I wonder.
