Quantity is good when, I go to a buffet, but to some degree you expect quality and depth as well. (meaning, I like more than three choices of meat, and the food should have flavor, and not be half hazardly prepared, for example....)
Quality is what I expect in my pen patent search. I want one stop shopping for my patents, the abiltity to see similar filling mechanisms, or even have the ability to look up who, was doing what, for who, in the industry.

So, you expect the research to be done and pre-digested already. It's your prerogative; You have the right to rely entirely on second-hand information.
If I may continue your analogy, there is difference between a restaurant and a market : whatever the quality, the former offers you processed food, while the later gives you access to the base ingredients. Stepping into a produce market and grumbling that you will have to cook before you eat is a behavior that can be called odd at best.
You may consider that Antonios has organized the warehouse of patents into a neater shelved market. Restaurants can be good too, but only as good as the Chef. Unfortunately, many "Celebrity Chef" in the pen world are simple cooks, storytellers self-promoted to the rank of Historian.
Were I to be interested in that sort of cuisine, I would like to have the practical tools to cook myself. But as I am not as much interested by the history of things as I am by the story of people, I'll go on chatting about such inconsequential things as what makes people's heart beat faster rather than louder, or what humbles them, rather than makes them pursue onanistic ego trips.
