You seem to conflate publishing a book with some kind of legitimacy.
And also determining that if you can’t see value in “note taking”, there is none.
The piece your analysis grossly overlooks is the ability to handle many more things at once using a pkm as second brain.
It’s unfortunate you may not have enough experience with GTD and what it has evolved into.
If you approached this post again with an open mind and heart and said you expected a lot of authors and instead people seem to manage knowledge .. why, and how are people using it for value.. it might be a conversation.
It is entirely possible to publish knowledge products at any time.
In the working world they might include meeting agendas, notes, okr reports, emails and updates to projects.
All can be both specific and esoteric knowledge but many orders of magnitude better organized than their peers.
