document decisions and move on, why are you asking your team to write essays?

Companies bitch about the performance of developers then ask them to do things like this.

What's worse is when companies give developers all the responsibility and none of the control.

Very much this. I like to write my documentation in Markdown because it allows me to be fast, while still having some structures. Then I paste the draft in Google Docs when I want to share and have people comment on it. Tooling matters and if I'm the one doing something, I want to actually choose how I'm doing it.
