That is a reasonable conjecture.

I agree that the documentation could use some work.  I will eventually
get around to doing this, but I feel like making enhancements and
fixing issues in the code should have priority.

Here's the deal:  I'm very fussy about who can contribute *code* to
SQLite, in order to protect the public-domain status of the SQLite
source code and due to the intense nature of testing required to land
a change.  However, there is more flexibility for volunteers who would
like to help change the world by improving the SQLite documentation.
If you want to help, please let me know.  There is a public-domain
dedication form that you will need to fill out.  You will also need to
reside in a country that recognizes the right of authors to dedicate
their work to the public domain (basically anyplace that derives their
legal traditions from British common law).  And with that, I will give
you check-in privilege on the SQLite documentation repository
(https://sqlite.org/docsrc) and as much guidance as you need to get
starting making improvements.
