Many people probably have many reasons, but I would guess that the newness
of the hobby would be one (I've had my car for less than a year), time,
money, ignorance of their existance/availability, not aware of the benefits
of the particular manual, and/or preferring to learn in a different style.
The degree of helpfullness of the list could be another reason. How about:
it was on their mind when they were on the computer and they may even have
the book.
I know that the benefits have been discussed here many times, but that
doesn't mean that someone new to the list has heard them all.

there a web site (preferably with pictures) that could answer these
questions?
