As a general rule, this already seems to be the case.

I generally have no understanding of how the libraries I am using work. Many companies out there have software running that nobody at the company can define specific behaviour for. I worked for a company that had on premise servers, and for one product wasn’t sure where the physical server for that product was.

Heck, you can even document deployment procedures and still lose them due to some wiki migration mishap or something like that, without anyone noticing. At least someone might notice that server is gone, less so with sparingly used documentation.
