I've never encountered middle managers who think this way. They'd be overjoyed if the engineers want to write documentation. Getting engineers to write docs on the other hand... sigh. Most engineers I've worked with don't even want to comment their code beyond the bare minimum and throw a temper tantrum when having to write more than a few sentences on a service they've written. Heck I know engineers who see another non-updated comment in the codebase and use that as justification to not write docs themselves.
