I don't think that is a problem with the design of the
libraries. It is a problem with the documentation.

Almost all library documentation could be written so that
any user could easily use the library in a simple, practical,
straightforward way.

I am not saying that it would be easy, but it could be
done.

Nowadays, that type of documentation is taken for
granted for every popular programming language.
