Hash#update

Is there some reason that ruby-doc.org presents the merge method in the
example block for update method ?

https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.1/Hash.html#update-method

thank you,

It doesn’t. It presents #merge!, not #merge. #update and #merge are the same:

Hi!
You made a typo.

Of course, `#update` is just an alias for `#merge!`.
Even method names tell that. Hash updating is merging it with another hash.
