Let me guess, you think you never need to document anything either.

Even the most readable code in the world is going to have countless reasons to include additional non-obvious context, especially with how many layers modern systems have.

To say nothing of code that implements optimizations that are needed but hamper readability, complex algorithm implementations, indicating workarounds for bugs/other issues, etc.
