Absolutely. I did a little bit of iOS development at some point and was genuinely shocked by how bad the documentation was and by how often WWDC videos was the best documentation available.
To give a concrete example: At WWDC20 Apple showed off a new Core Data feature called "derived attributes" [1]. Only many months later did they add the bare minimum of written documentation covering a fraction of what was shown off at WWDC [2].

But you know, Apple is a struggling company that doesn't have enough money to pay devs for documentation. /s obviously.
Microsoft may produce some half-assed software but at least their documentation is generally pretty solid (and easy to find).
