I think it has a lot to do with the culture of the language and who uses it. My example of python is a post-internet language used by mostly free/open-source minded people so the key texts in the language are all available in this way. While with, say, ASP.net, the best books are more likely to be printed books that your job buys for you, its not so much something that you will learn off your own back.
