It's the monies.
If you have quality documentation how things work under the hood, less calls to support (IBM, Oracle, HP or their bastard support firms), equals less cash for them.
There is no love. Just plain cash hunting everywhere you turn.
I've seen in my short career (about 10 years, oppose to you unix masters), folks intentionally delivering broken stuff just to fix it after and fill their hourly/monthly quota.
Other problem is a new generation of kids who emerge from technical and other faculties which know nothing, and worst, even don't want to learn.
All they do is run scripts someone else wrote.
Click puppets/AI installers/PXE someone else configured.
Everything needs to be done before, so mindless automatons can do their jobs.
Looks like 90% of IT today is in 'human centipede' mode, just forwarding crap around.
Excuse me upfront if i'm dull to you
