Removing guesswork and confusion should be a priority. We should not have to
read excessively long
descriptions or have to guess or interpret the strange way something functions.
You remember the hurd, emacs is quite similar. One adds and adds to it
without facilitating
the job of using it.
Instead developers are ranting on about copyright assignment, fsf, rms, women,
and bullshit like that.

Try this (untested) in one of your startup files:
(defadvice icomplete-vertical-mode
(before activate-icomplete-before-icomplete-vertical activate)
"activate icomplete-mode before activating icomplete-vertical-mode"
(icomplete-mode 1))
According to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/, Emacs is "[a]n
extensible, customizable, self-documenting display editor"; if you don't
like some given behavior, then you can very likely modify that behavior.
Arguably, it did take quite some effort to discover that you need both
function calls. Perhaps you could submit a patch to that bug report to
update icomplete-vertical-mode's documentation instead of changing
emacs's behavior for everyone.
