I'm fine with most of these change, just curious why we're removing links to outside documentation.

Not sure why we're removing links to content that can help our user's and community members place jargon (like BigQuery) in a broader context.

It's the level of detail / tech depth of the article. We assume users have basic understading of these systems. Otherwise half of the content cannot be understood. Or, alternatively, we would need to provide links for all systems referred in there (e.g., Google Cloud Console, SKD, etc.)

However, you're correct that we should help our users, in case they are not familiar with these systems. I'm adding this link in the beginning of the article, inline with the text, similarly to the Google Cloud Console, etc.
