If you need a guide, it's too complicated for most

Nobody is going to read it. That's the point.

most people probably just watch some YouTube videos if they want an introduction to mastodon ๐Ÿ˜€

it doesn't matter if they read it or not. the average non-techy person is turned off if a site/app doesn't let them log in with one of their existing accounts (Google Facebook etc). Having them read a guide to understand isn't beyond most people but most definitely do not have the attention span.
