I don't know about the quality of the content of Alpine Linux
documentation.  In general, BSD documentation tends to be better
than Linux documentation, so the problem may or may not be specific
to Alpine.

But Alpine Linux is unique with respect to documentation in more
than one way:  It is the first Linux distro that ever used mandoc(1)
by default - since June 2011, more than a year before NetBSD, more
than three years before FreeBSD and illumos.  It is the first other
operating system to integrate and enable the OpenBSD man(1)
implementation by default - since December 2014.  And as far as i'm
aware, it is still one among the only three systems using OpenBSD
man(1):  OpenBSD, Alpine Linux, and Void Linux.
