You (and the current tutorial) assume that the reader of the tutorial
has decided he's going to use Emacs and wants to figure out how to use
it efficiently.

That's good for that use case.  But there are other use cases, such as
someone who's intrigued and wants to "check it out".  In that case, the
tutorial should mostly try and showcase what you can do with Emacs.
