@jetsetradion they expect a Hardware Company to have its interactive instruction manually to be "free software" (ie be so cheap to make it doesn't matter that it's give away or be baked into the price. It shouldn't be a big resource intensive game to develop. It exists solely to play once at home and to live on demo consoles at retail stores to help sell consoles.
Nintendo themselves famously had the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart come with the vast majority of NES consoles, the Wii had WiiSports. It's not expected to give a free tech demo for every console, but if you make a tech demo it should be free.

Valve also released Aperture Desk Job for free as a tech demo for the Steam Deck.
