Summary

The FAQ mentions downloading ECW libraries from kyngchaos site in order to open ECW raster files in QGIS, for macOS users. This is outdated for years, the dmg built from the QGIS-Mac-Packager repository providing already that driver, in the same way as osgeo4w.

Also, the Faunalia page, for other OS, starts with The following instructions are deprecated for QGIS 3. Not really encouraging to test whether they are still correct and its Windows part is deprecated anyway. So maybe instructions for Linux could be checked and added/simplified directly in the FAQ, or we find a better source?
