I think it depends on when you started playing. Early on features got added a little at a time, so some people were playing before there were even hunger bars. It was easier to figure stuff out on your own when there wasn't as much stuff to figure out.

Then, as the game just kept getting bigger and bigger, people started relying more and more on the wiki, including the actual game devs. So they probably figured they didn't need a ton of in-game explanations or info when people could just go to the wiki anyway.

Which, admittedly, probably makes jumping into Minecraft now waaay harder for anyone who doesn't know the wiki even exists, but it wouldn't have been so bad in, say, 2010.

That seems like a sensible analysis of the experience. I never touched Minecraft until maybe...2020?
