I'm serious. Open a blank file by typing `vim` into the terminal. Don't press anything, just look at the screen.
I'm sorry, but reading docs, or just reading, shouldn't be considered a significant barrier to entry.

How long have you been developing code for others to use?
Rule number one is that users don't read documentation.

A lot of people can't, that is why vscode is so popular

You're not going to be making successful customer-facing software with that attitude.

If you open vim with a file, like you do with all file editors, there's no such examples. It's also at the bottom of auth/credit/contribution fluff in your example, which people would be expected to ignore.
