If you read the pages with man -P, which shows you the typeset

as fgb and man(1) point out, intended to be typeset.

Actually, my biggest man page complaint is the capitalization of the symbols at the front of a sentence. I usually B3 to find the particular function I care about, and it is frequently capitalized, breaking the search.
