It's a personal preference I guess. I'd rather hit up stack overflow and find a common English answer to a similar problem that usually includes an example. Django suffers from the same thing... excellent docs, that just seem unapproachable day to day.
Basically when I Google something, I'm skipping the first 2-3 official links that in fact contains the info I need, but instead clicking the one that summarized it more plainly
If it doesn't actually resonate with you, and you don't come away with the understanding you need, it's most certainly not a 'feature' but a 'bug'. I think some projects see dense/thicks docs that keep a high barrier to entry as a feature itself as well.
If they're not approachable, they're not 'excellent'.
I've been a django developer for a decade and keep hearing from others how great their docs are. I barely ever use them. My biggest complaint is they give examples without any context. I can't look up a feature without knowing 12 other things before
