Idk if its just me but these sort of frameworks seem the make it intentionally hard to figure out wtf they are for.

What is OpenTofu? OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open-source license to the BUSL

None of these names mean anything to me.

The entire FAQ doesn't spend a syllable saying what it is for, except that its like Terraform. Which is a bad name to google.

After searching around, it seems to be some vaugely defined devops/cloud management thing.

It seems to be some sort of trend to absolutely never explain what your product is or how it works. Especially not on the main page. It's just "click here to sign up now"!
