I assume this is a mix of AI stuff being a more common Oracle for this stuff and StackOverflow clinging to old answers and questions as being forever relevant.

Every single time I open the perfect question the only answer is “we already covered this, use the search”

They're only relevant until they're not.

Maybe that IS forever, but only so far.
