> I do see a lot of obsolete sites

Seems like we haven't adapted to the "documentation is a process, not a
one time task" mindset at large yet.

There is also little motivation in creating new content. There is so
much obsolete content with with good spots in engine, who will read your
updated content? For example I recently created an article "Air Gapped
OpenPGP Key" [1]. But when someone searches for "offline gpg key" or
"air gap gpg key" the article isn't in the result.

How search engines dominate what we find, read and think nowadays is a
problem, also that the internet doesn't forget and we're not good at
cleaning outdated content.

I think all that leads to the many obsolete sites you're talking about.
