Let's face the facts. Man is superfluous for most people learning how to install Arch, especially since it forces you to have an internet connection in order to install.
What do you mean? You have the installation guide in the bootable image. If you don't know/remember how to use a specific tool, eg. parted, you can just man it. You don't actually need the archwiki, and I would consider man superfluous. You might now even need an internet connection, I run a local mirror at home. I am not saying this is common, just that it is possible and maybe some people might want to do it.
