There definitely used to be a lot more text in Lego literature, such as the
catalogs and idea books.
But I think the move towards internationalization of the product has made
text almost obsolete. Now you only see a smattering of text on the boxes
(product name, age and manufacturing information) and in instruction books
for the more advanced sets with electronics (train sets, for example).
I think more text in the instructions and catalogs would be a "good thing"
and might bring some more personality back to Lego.
