Possible Obfuscation / Abuse

It appears that someone has taken the article from a manageable <40 command line entries and 6K bytes to 20K bytes, and now command line entries that number 100-200+: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=Zabbix&type=revision&diff=19688&oldid=17984

What was a 10 minute easy install is now a 30-60 minute ordeal. Can Mckaygerhard justify the need for this additional complexity, or is this obfuscation? It looks like the latter, upon first glance.

I tested the old guide, and it seems to work fine except that I had to copy the zabbix.conf.php from a different zabbix install to this since the database type doesn't populate during the setup.php install (essentially bypassing it). And the js on the web console only worked with certain browsers.
