If ConTeXt is installed, you also get its documentation and this
behavior is absolutely correct.  Thus, if you are bothered by ConTeXt
docs, just uninstall ConTeXt.

The name of the program is "texdoc", not "latexdoc" and I don't think
that ConTeXt docs are less appropriate than LaTeX docs here.

But there is still the -s option which helps you to resolve such
ambiguities conveniently.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
