I was confused by similar behavior as well, see
Maxim Nikulin to emacs-orgmode. Bug? C-h v in src block since org-9.4.

I think, help completion should include arguments of 
`register-definition-prefixes' from loaddefs files (till the related 
package is loaded), even if it may give some variants that has no 
functions or variables defined in a library. `customize-variable' should 
be consistent with describe-variable in respect to autoloading and 
completion option.

Alain, are you motivated enough to search in emacs bug tracker and in 
emacs-devel mailing list archives if such options were considered? From 
my point of view it is better to improve completion than to modify the 
Org Manual just for org-goto. Feel free to add me as X-Debbugs-CC if you 
decide to create a feature request or a bug.
