I think that happens in part because people don't appreciate what they can get out of doing the documentation work.

I think it is more akin to the tools available to help write good documentation. We have seen marked improvement over the years, but the doc tools are still pretty lame. The ones that seem to be nicer require jumping through many hoops of configuration just to try them out. That's why I like doxygen. Yes, it has problems, but it is super easy to setup and start using.
