I think the complicating factor is probably the process to get any modifications approved through the Broadcom NDAs... which is not the best excuse, but it is probably slightly more involved than "one person takes 10 minutes to make the update."

There are certain things that are very well/thoroughly documented by the Pi Foundation, though, and I wish the Pi itself could be more proactive in maintaining docs for everything (like the Pi 4 modification). This problem is not exclusive to the Pi Foundation, though I think based on the fact that many things they produce are marketed/written well makes people hold them to a higher standard.
