Very normal when working with ICs.

It was once very common. Microsoft had a "developers club" that basically sold access to their APIs docs.
MSDN sold a service where they mailed you physical CDs. Once they had the documentation on their website it was all free. (A subscription would get you licenses for QAing on different versions of Windows / additional other stuff, but the help files were free)
Huh?
Who has ever had to log into something to view documentation? Discord seems to be the only example!

As for the last one, well, getting you on to a Discord and into their marketing drip feed is a lot cheaper than having a sales call.
