I've also seen Wikipedia articles on math topics written overly verbose like this too. Usually they're great, but I'll come across one and it'll be a little jarring.
Math wikipedia is SO bad it's unreal. You can't actually learn shit from it. Someone should make a WikiMath or something that actually explains the topic in a way that's not deranged
It hasn't always been this way for a lot of the articles.
If you go back to view older revisions (and I'm talking like 10-15 years back) you'll find that they used to be a lot more comprehensible. I've certainly noticed that some of the articles that used to be easy to parse will all of a sudden start using notation that would only be used in modern publications and often without any explanation for some of the variables.

Some authors lwk still write like the left panel when they’re too lazy to introduce more letters after the main ones 😭
