Yes, I did multiple times. I had not done full rewrite, because there was zero reason to do it. Nor time for that matter. The thing I took over was typically developed over a lot of time, doing it again would take a lot of time again.

There is no such a thing as quality documentation. An individual here and there is able and willing to write one. Average developer is not. And I don't even blame them, it is in fact skill and job occupation on itself to be able to do so.

Developers are not even trained in how to write good documentation. There are no processes to check, test and review documentation.
