Why is standard products, price books and quotes not in the CRM Essentials module?

Was reviewing Trailhead modules to suggest to new users and see that CPQ (paid add on product) is included in the Learn CRM Essentials trail (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trails/getting_started_crm_basics). As of April 2018, CPQ is a paid add-on and for mind is not part of the core functionality that SFDC provides for all users included in the standard subsciption user cost. Two questions:
  1. Where can I find a module on using the out of the box functionality for products, pricebooks and quotes in trailhead?
  2. And can the CPQ unit (which I now refer to as Enhanced CPQ - formerly Steelbrick) be swapped out in Learn CRM Essentials trail with a unit for Standard CPQ (products, price books, quotes)?

Because the Learn CRM Essentials trail is for Salesforce Classic, and the Products, Price Books and Quotes module is in Lightning Experience.

Classic trail: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/trails/getting_started_crm_basics

So instead, it's in this Lightning Experience trail for Sales Cloud: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trails/sales_admin

Thanks for the pointers. My org is not on lightning (yet) so directing users to a lightning based module for standard CPQ will cause confusion. There are also admin setup steps included in that path that are not relevant for my sales user audience. I'll find a workaround to provide the right context.
