Seriously? They couldn't make the content something standard like a .zip file? Or a zip file with a SQL database in it? Bloody monkeys always have to go and create a new standard for everything. They will argue it's for performance or something, but it's really an exercise in ego. "Oh, mine's better!" No, it's not. What is better is what works with everything else in the world.

And that index! We couldn't capitalize the proper name of Wikipedia? And do you not understand there are visually impaired people in the world who can't read light red text on a white background? What is wrong with people?

And the terminology! What in the fuckety is Aard2? What is a .slob file? Why is it that everyone uses obscure acronyms or whatever for everything and never explains anything? Ego again, probably. Let's create a language that no one else understands to make ourselves feel superior! No, you are not superior, you are just turning language into thick vegetable soup.

Didn't you people go to university, or did you not pay attention when they taught you that the first reference is always completely spelled out and explained and you can use the acronyms (or whatever they are) after that. It's only common sense that you don't spout gibberish and nonsense words without explaining then in the first instance, unless your goal is to confuse everyone for the purpose of making yourself feel superior.

And the Google sheet and the flat index, what a hodgepodge of nonsense. What the heck does it mean? What is the difference between the different versions? Who knows?

I have to go now. My eyes are bleeding from trying to read light red text on a bright white background. I'll check back again once I get a Braille laptop screen.

I too have had rather disappointing results with Kiwix. Love the idea, but the implementation needs work. At this point, given the complexities of parsing Wikitext, I wish Wikipedia themselves would offer SQLite dumps of the latest text only content.
