Yes, you *could* rely on your IDE to show you the Javadoc *for the
class or method you're currently focused on*.  But then you'd miss
seeing that you forgot to write the overview, you forgot to write most
of the package comments, or that 80% of your classes and methods have
either no topic sentence, a useless one, or one that is bizarrely
formatted and unreadable.  Or the amount of material that doesn't
really say anything which would help someone not already intimately
familiar with the code.  Documentation should be generated and
reviewed regularly.
