Essentially, this is impossible for anything that’s not easily explainable all at once- so it’s useless for any advanced domain.

You can’t just give people a firehose of information. When you learn acoustic engineering, you have to first learn the prerequisite math needed to understand later concepts such as room architecture. It simply does not make sense to jam pack it all in at once, because 1) it won’t make sense and 2) nobody has that kind of memory.

Next, if you want to cover all possible use cases, that could take forever in certain domains.

Last, some of this stuff is objective as to what’s necessary, or what cases need to be covered.

No, what’s better is to give general knowledge as needed, and the student can seek out knowledge for various corner cases. It would be ridiculous otherwise.
