You're assuming someone places value on proper documentation because they need proper documentation to make it "accessible to you". That doesn't have to be the case.
For me, lack of proper documentation constitutes a red flag, and says something very negative about the project. The question "Is it properly documented?" serves as a simple and convenient way to filter out projects that have a low chance of being mature enough to fit my needs.
