Modern development shops operate in a hyper competitive environment with razor thin margins. Unfortunately, great documentation is often the last thing that's prioritized for such shops.
Personally, I think this is a HUGE mistake; talented technical writers are in good supply and should be hired by any development shop to improve adoption of their product. HOWEVER, as a developer, the shop will prefer that you work on features rather than documentation.
