It would be pretty insane to in a tutorial for something at a higher level of expertise, include all the foundational knowledge to get to that level of expertise

You don't need to include it all. You just need to mention it as pre-requisite knowledge, and link to resources about it for those who don't have that knowledge. See Creating MAUI UI's in C#

I get the impression that most people who go to the trouble of writting about how to do something prefere to do explanations rather than recipes

Good documentation includes both. i.e. step-by-step guide, with explanations. See above.

so either seek recipes with an even lower base level

All documentation should cater to all levels. See above.

Instead of writing that snarky comment you could’ve instead used the web for its original purpose and conduct your own research and not bug strangers on the internet to do your bidding

You're not the only one they're doing it to (I went to their profile to see if this is a pattern, and it sure is).

Sounds like typical Microsoft documentation to me. Explains in great detail what .NET is, where you can download it from, then jumps straight to the advanced topic they're covering without any of the intermediate knowledge covered or even linked to (but perhaps referred to only vaguely in passing as an acronym, again with no link, this time no link to what "TLA" is actually short for, so you're searching for it is fruitless as well).

They have even forgotten one of the most basic grammar rules - always fully spell out an acronym the first time you use it. Looking at you MicroSoft (MS). No, I don't know what TLA* is, and now this document is completely useless to anyone who doesn't know what TLA is, especially since you've also not linked to any resources about TLA
