I think the problem is that incomprehensible documentation is pretty much the norm. When RTFM-ing leads to immense frustration nine times out of ten, why would anyone do it just for that one time when it actually works? If I need help with a tool or framework, what I'm usually looking for is a code sample explained quickly in human terms: a service that SO specializes in.
