If someone has the time and opportunity to create a robot vacuum from scratch, they probably also have the time to write a short introduction for it

I disagree. Writing became seriously unfun after the 8th year of school. Now after grad school it seems very wasteful to spend any calories focusing on the packaging of the ideas and things. Especially at a time when we have achieved the technology to not need a team of writers, editors, and typesetters to create presentations of a worthwhile quality for the actual content in a reasonable timeframe.

It's never taken "a team of writers, editors and typesetters" to write a README.
