You have to wonder how privileged developers are. Documentation and communication are essential for the job yet nothing much happens if it’s not done properly. („Programmers are bad writers.“ is an valid excuse)
Compare this to a painter who refuses to wash out their brushes - that’s „uninspiring“ work, so not going to do it. No one would excuse a painter by saying: he can’t wash out brushes.
Writing and documenting are skills that can be learnt, there isn’t anything that makes you a born „writer“ or „developer“ - one can easily enough do both.
