I suspect the poor documentation is a cultural thing.
I am used to the culture of the very developed Free and Open Source
Software (FOSS) available on the web. I recall that while the IBM PC was
not a closed source product even in its inception; that coupled with the
rise of the Internet, a bank switching processor from Intel, RMS and the
Torvalds kid all came together with a life changing vengeance for me.
IIRC, IBM PC/AT/PS2 and bus card schematics were available in the little
IBM three ring binders, even clone bus cards often shipped with
schematics, and Intel was happy to ship you documentation for all the
chips for free, ditto for Motorala, TI, ..., and then came along Nvidia
and they ruined everything.
