The documentation for gcc is in a separate package, in the non-free section. unicorn:~$ apt-cache show gcc-doc Package: gcc-doc Source: gcc-doc-defaults (5:21) Version: 5:10.1.0-1 [...] Depends: gcc-10-doc (>= 10.1.0-1~) [...] Section: contrib/doc unicorn:~$ apt-cache show gcc-10-doc [...] Section: non-free/doc This is because GNU releases their documentation under a different license than their source code. And Debian considers the GNU documentation license to be non-free (rightly so, because it prohibits distributing modified versions).
