Why do so many projects fail to include any screenshots at all?

Maybe the authors don't think it's necessary, but step 3 under `Getting Started` is called `Creating UI`. Why would they not show what the result of the tutorial looks like?

Not only are screenshots often missing, but I’m also surprised by how many projects fail to describe the purpose and goals of their project in short, simple sentences. Many mistakenly assume that only users and developers visit the website or repository, not decision-makers. More ELI5 ("Explain Like I'm 5") can never hurt.

Screenshots are harder to produce, maintain and publish.

I also suspect many technical authors are less “visual” so to speak, putting less emphasis on visual presentation.

Not the best thing for a desktop application framework maybe.
