I wouldn't worry about document.write examples too much.
You just need to keep in mind that the book is designed to teach the
language from scratch, and quite possibly the reader hasn't scripted
before.
Starting from point zero, document.write is a good way to get started
learning and making things happen fast. I'll guess that the Bible-series
programming books aren't necessarily considering "standardistas".

A decade ago (Netscape 4 era) I used document.write in some javascript
