It isn't that we aren't shipping it, it is that the Kernel spec file
does not generate any documentation anymore. It looks like Fedora 20
made this change but I don't know why beyond
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223200 .  While EL-8 is
based on Fedora-28, the kernel team for RHEL uses a different spec
file. It also did not start shipping with the kernel-doc but looks to
have been added with
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659636

At this point I suggest you file a bug against the kernel and cite
those two bugs. The current kernel team can work out what work it
would be needed and if it could be added.

time to shutdown -h now.
