Because chances are that if you need help with something, other people do too.

If you are a call center employee, you can also use the articles here to help customers with unsupported troubleshooting (eg. they use Linux but you’re only allowed to help them with Windows or macOS). Directing customers to a useful resource, one that answers their question, will drastically improve their satisfaction – even when you weren’t allowed to help them.
