The RP2350 data sheet is 1347 pages!

 
The days of fitting an instruction set on a page or two are long
gone.

 
These days, when you've got a 1K+ page manual you know it's the actual
manual.  If it's 10 pages it's just a 'product brief' that shows some basic
information about the chip but not nearly enough to program it (contact the
OEM and they'll make you sign an NDA for the actual details, and maybe only
if you're going to buy a million units).
 
Most of the time you can ignore huge chunks of the manual - if you never use
the CAN bus transceiver, skip that section.  But better to have the
information there if you need it.

Yes, and then going through all the code you wrote...
Did I use that ? Ah, worked around it!
