And, in case you haven't noticed, the social contract is free software. Invariant sections aren't.

Because a software is not a documentation.
Your Emacs manual purpose is to document Emacs. Emacs purpose is
whatever you can do with it by using it.

Last time I checked, emacs was billed as a self-documenting editor. So at least part of emacs purpose is to document emacs.

If you're not interested in any secondary section of a manual, you can
skip them at no cost.

Except for you costs in distributing, printing, storage, time, etc.
