Logistic regression from scratch

I totally agree but I was explaining that to practionners, or at least people who consider themselves data scientists. I agree that it is by no means a beginner friendly explanation.

Is that what some people call the 'mansplain' method?

no. all explanations must make some assumption about what readers already know, or else every explanation would begin with teaching english.

also, mansplaining generally refers to assuming people (women, usually) have less pre-existing knowledge than they actually do.

Thanks for clarifying. So condescending is not necessarily mansplaining. But mansplaining IS condescending.
