I get why it's done from a narrative point of view, but some obnoxious pedantic voice in my head never stops wondering why people would write down obscure lore notes in the middle of a disaster or when they're about to die. It makes sense for some organisation's agents to document their discoveries and leave (incremental) reports on-site in case they don't make it back for a full report, but some random raider in FO4 noting down how pissed he is with his boss?

Of course, I'm a sucker for lore, so I'll take it, particularly when it's in audio log form during exploration sections so I can keep exploring and listen instead of stopping to read.
