This is often on purpose. I have my own, and contribute to, many projects. Some of them have easy docs to get going, find things, etc, because they happen to be easy to manage. Others do not, because the only support time I have to give is to those who also have the time to put in the work.
And to be clear, it’s not that we look down on “those who aren’t willing to learn” or anything at all like that, we recognize others don’t have the time either. It’s just a natural filter that has to exist in free software.
Honestly, ten seconds into trying to figure it out I usually reevaluate if I really need it and close the tab.
