Because the info people never quite figured out HTML? Yeah, that's
flamebait, but info is really horrible. Not to mention their habit
of making manual entries saying "oh, _we_ keep our doco in info - this
manual page may well be a pack of lies!". You can't even use your usual
pager on info files:-(
I wrote my own "man" command that presents info like "man" output -
it finds both info and man entries and asks you what you want. It's at
least made things tractable for me:

Info: just say "no".
