What is wrong with addressing the reader as "you"?

Avoiding an affirmative tone goes directly against the style-guide you linked to, which recommends an affirmative (positive) tone:

"The documentation focuses on affirmatively stating what the language does..."

The alternative would be to take a negative tone, focusing on what the library doesn't do.
