How come it took 20 years for a popular console? Sure, it probably takes some effort, maybe X-raying the boards, but a schematic can be created by someone with a desoldering oven and multimeter. Or sandpaper and flatbed scanner. At least they're free.

Edit: apparently includes full board recreation, that's better

The information has been available for a long time. And the method to get it was done by sanding down each layer and making scans, and tracing each line.

Without looking to much into this, apperantly the main new thing here is the way this information is compiled. Which may be quite the improvement in accessibility
