Thats a $30 book
Cool!
I kind of see your point, but I don't completely agree. As I said already, I know something about active research in this field: enough, as a matter of fact, to be able to read these books

However, as most researchers, I mostly focus on my specific subfield of Machine Learning. Also, every now and then, I'd like to read something about my job, which however doesn't feel like work (even a professional football player may want to kick a ball for fun every now and then 😉). Thus, I was looking for some general overview of Machine Learning, which wouldn't be too dumbed down, according to experts (otherwise I wouldn't have fun reading it), but which at the same time wasn't a huge reference textbook. After all, this would be just a leisure read, it shouldn't become work after work.
That's why I asked here, rather than on r/LearnMachineLearning. However, if other users also feel I should ask there, I will reconsider.
