The output is missing the list command mentioned in https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/managing.html#updating. This is because of

quarto-cli/src/command/list/cmd.ts

Line 20 in 4ca63a7

.hidden()

Could the list command be included in the output of --help? Given that --help includes other commands related to extensions it makes sense to also show list.
