It's honestly less that, and more that it's a lot more complicated than it's possible to easily put it down into writing.
Each and every variety could pretty much have a full book dedicated to how best to grow it when you take into account all of the sheer number of variables that are involved.
It's really a lot more complicated than just saying this one takes high light, this one low, or more or less fertilizer, etc. Each parameter can be dependent on other parameters, and there isn't always a single best way to grow a variety. Of course, each grower has their own ways to get the best characteristics out of each variety, but that information may or may not apply to another grower and their growing conditions.
When you go looking for that information with other Japanese or Korean growers, sure you'll find some people who are evasive and try to keep their secrets, but you'll find many more who will do everything they can to help.
It's just that to provide good advice, the advisor needs to know what the advisee is working with in fine detail. It's not possible to give another grower advice without knowing those things, and it's not something that a book or anything in writing can easily do.
All that said, there are general guidelines that are widely reiterated that can be followed
as a starting point. There just hasn't been enough people to translate them into English, but I've been doing my best to relay them whenever anyone asks the questions.
