I don't think that's specific to open-source development - developers of proprietary software are no better at documentation, whether it technical, or end-user material. They're coders, and anything else is a distraction from that. If there's a difference, it's that open-source projects consist almost exclusively of coders - you generally don't have project managers forcing the developers to spend time on documentation, nor teams of technical writers to write help content and user-guides.
