I've found that documentation is one of the first things to go when time-constrained in Sprints. The PM/PO or Team Lead will pay lip service to the idea of allotted time to documentation writing for each Story, but don't enforce that during planning. Nor do they call it out during Retros.
Heck, there's some devs, senior and junior, who don't realize the value of standard branch naming, ticket references in commit messages, etc etc. Or they'll pay lip service (again) to a conventions standard, but still continue to work the old way over and over.
The common thread among devs that I've spoken to is that they feel they aren't talented enough to write good docs, that they don't have time, and that they don't know what to write about. I feel like the team lead and higher-ups need to focus on enforcing standards for a few sprints to get everyone working on the same page.
