Yeah, there are no incentives. No one will praise you for writing them, they will probably not be well maintained and other people will make changes and not update them. People will still ask you privately instead of reading the docs and will get annoyed if you tell them to read the docs. You yourself will likely not really refer to them anyway, as you probably already have them memorized for the 3 year period when they are relevant to you.
