While I work for Google, I don't speak for Google. I might have some observations that might help explain poor documentation. If I had one word, I would say "politics". The less political the technology, the easier it is for the experts to speak freely. The more political the circumstances, the more difficult it is to speak freely, identify real experts, call out mistakes or errors that might make someone lose face, etc. The more political the technology, the more people might put on the line in terms of their career, so the more dangerous it may be to say anything.
