Hmm, do I want to open some external site/program to see my documentation or have it already in the code in front of me?
We use doxygen at my company and I think I've only ever opened it twice in 9 years.
Doxygen may be required in regulated industries like healthcare, banking, or robotics, but programmers never use it internally. The headers themselves are useful though and show that programmers take care of what they write even if they don't read the generated HTML.
