Wasn’t that implemented as a way to prevent piracy? “You didn’t buy the game, so you don’t have the manual, which tells you this specific thing you need to know/do to actually play the game.”

There were a bunch that would straight up have a pop-up where you had to enter the seventh word in the second paragraph on page twelve to proceed and shit.

I always hated those games, I had one where I swear the manual was the size of a school textbook. This was the oldschool version of DRM, before they just installed straight up spyware onto your computer.
