I am willing to go out on a limb and say that as much as 25% of software engineering time worldwide is wasted due to poor documentation.
It's an asymmetric problem too. If someone benevolently funds a team of engineers for a couple of months to write great docs (with detailed examples) for top 500 libraries, frameworks, APIs. They could increase global productivity of software engineers by %25 percent.
