Not all webhooks from docs present in admin

According to the docs there should be a lot more webhooks available, e.g. "variants/in_stock". However, those are not available from the admin menu under Notifications > Webhooks. Why is that so?

Hi @ukena 

The Shopify admin panel's Notifications > Webhooks section provides a basic set of webhook topics for manual setup. Some of the more advanced or specialized webhook topics, like "variants/in_stock," however, are not present in this way. If you need to utilize them, you have to make the webhook subscriptions programmatically through Shopify's Admin API or by specifying them in your app's configuration file. This is more flexible and allows you to use more webhook topics.

Thank you, this answers the question. However, I'd like to point out that I don't see the reason behind "hiding" some webhooks from the admin panel. These are no "specialized" webhook topics as all webhooks work the same. And I cannot find a list which webhooks are available at the admin panel and which aren't. So why making this unnecessary complex?
