I think it's because there's too many 'computers' involved these days. Back in the day it was battery to fuse/relay to some electrical item to ground/body. Now you can guarantee some 'control unit' is inline with that. Any wiring diagram is basically useless unless u know how the control unit operates.
For instance, my Haynes manual shows all illumination wiring goes back to the body control unit. My research suggests there is four parts to the BCU in different locations. Which part the illumination wire plugs in to is beyond me. I have no idea how much current I can draw from the illumination feed without damaging the BCU either. The only safe way is to now use the illumination feed to trip a relay which provides a 12V supply from the battery. It's a lot of work just for some disco lights! 😂😂

I know what you mean about the ecu’s.....bloody things are everywhere!!
I’m just rebuilding an accident damaged one and had a load of sheared wiring and a good old fashioned diagram would have saved a lot of testing work. Tis all done now, but to have had the wiring colour codes would have been soooo much easier. I guess these days though, we’re not supposed to repair cars and just take them to the main stealer.

One of the things with the modern cars is there is many many diagrams to cover a specific car, for example Citroens use some software which allows you to enter A code (known as RPO number) which is spec specific + year + options fitted to your chassis number this then displays dozens of links taking you deeper into the area of interest then displaying the circuits relevant to that function, I once started to print each section one by one but gave up as there must have been 100 or so.
