The problem isn’t really that it’s hard to document. The problem is that when you don’t use triggers, you don’t have to consult documentation to know what’s going to happen after an insert (or an update, or delete…). People who haven’t used triggers would assume that a row will simply be inserted. But if you use triggers this is no longer a safe assumption.
