You might be thinking of info pages. The man pages are just the instructions, feature flags, etc. generally, while info (when available) usually has a more general / layman description of the command with examples.
Hrm, I checked the manpage for grep on my Mac an there are a number of examples. I checked it on Linux and there’s one example. I must be spoiled by the BSD’s.

It’s possible. A lot of things merge the info and man pages now if both are installed, that could be the case here. Or Mac just documents it further.
