Apple's competitive advantage is the rock-solid, durable hardware (compared to what's considered "acceptable" in the Windows world) and the lock-in effect of things like the App Store and its customer base, iMessage and Find My.
Apple doesn't need to attract developers any more, and so the documentation gets little love.
