Just for reference:

TOPIC
    Windows PowerShell Help System

SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Displays help about Windows PowerShell cmdlets and concepts. 

LONG DESCRIPTION
    Windows PowerShell Help describes Windows PowerShell cmdlets,
    functions, scripts, and modules, and explains concepts, including
    the elements of the Windows PowerShell language.

    Windows PowerShell does not include help files, but you can read the
    help topics online, or use the Update-Help cmdlet to download help files
    to your computer and then use the Get-Help cmdlet to display the help
    topics at the command line.

    You can also use the Update-Help cmdlet to download updated help files
    as they are released so that your local help content is never obsolete. 

    Without help files, Get-Help displays auto-generated help for cmdlets, 
    functions, and scripts.

Can confirm this happens on the macOS build, too.

Given that this is an alpha, our help is a bit far behind. Our goal is still to use platyPS to convert all the help into Markdown and then iterate from there, but we don't have an ETA right now.
