You want the shitty diagrams because those come from actual engineers. The beautiful ones come from marketing.

This is a really poor excuse. Just because you're technical doesn't mean you're not responsible for presenting your content in a appealing and clean way.

Being an engineer doesn't mean you have zero design mindset. Engineers make beautiful diagrams too.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A diagram that conveys the information that took the minimum amount of time to generate and has the aesthetic that appeals to the engineer is beautiful. Maybe you have different taste?

My comment was concerning the quality of the image not the content. The pictures in the article are pixelated.

Point was, you're not likely to get a purely functional resource out of marketing, not whether engineers are capable of producing marketing-quality materials.
