We actually have an internship program with English graduate students to be tech writers for our data science groups. They're wonderful, and I will sing their praises anywhere I can. Having people whose primary skill is knowing how to write is extremely undervalued in Corporate America. If you're only using technical writers to help with documentation, you're doing it wrong.

I don't think people with good writing skills are undervalued. Good writers just do other jobs than technical docs most of the time. They go to marketing/advertising.
