It's maybe not so unusual in *nix, globbed to include Linux and
starting in the past decade, but is unusual in Unix. When I started on
Linux it was still possible to use all that documentation
(http://www.opengroup.org/ was massively useful) and I spent quite
some time understanding Posix standards and how things fitted
together. You could teach yourself how to programme, use cron,
administer the system, from man pages.
