At best, "trivial", "just", "simply" are all noise words. They add no context.
At worst they are targeted at the wrong audience. The writer doesn't actually know how knowledgeable or experienced the reader is.
So if you're a writer or you're simply (heh) writing docs for a library you're working on, and you're decent at this task so you take a moment to reflect on how your audience might read your writing, why would you use the word at all?
> is that the reason why tech documentation has slowly been evolving into 50-minute step-by-step YouTube tutorials that start with installing the IDE?
Instead of falling into the trap of "kids these days" short-sighted whining, perhaps consider that the barriers to creating and sharing content have never been lower. More content targeted at beginners seems like a natural conclusion to me, since it reaches the widest audience.
