High-quality documentation assumes there's someone with experience working on this. That's not the vibe coding they're selling.
Complete hands-off no-review no-technical experience vibe coding is obviously snake oil, yeah.
This is a pretty large problem when it comes to learning about LLM-based tooling: lots of noise, very little signal.
I am not aware of what they are selling but every vibe coder i know produces obsessive amounts of documentation. It's kind of baked into the tool (if you use Claude Code at least), it will just naturally produce a lot of documentation.
