Because unlike the waste of dead trees that most computer game manuals consist of, the Dom3 manual is a worthwhile investment. I've seen commercial "strategy guides" with less useful information in them than the Dom3 manual includes.
Dom2 had the most heavily used manual of any computer game I've ever owned; I can't imagine choosing your research path without referring to it. The Dom3 manual is even better; the improved formatting of the reference tables is letting me try strategies that I didn't have enough information to think of in Dom2.
(The reason for the "angry" face on this post is that cheapskate gamers whining about games being too expensive is a pet peeve of mine. Games are a
luxury item, people. If you don't want to pay for quality, the mainstream publishers put out plenty of cheap yet overpriced shovelware for you to misspend your gaming budget on.)
