> Since OP mentions logging [...] we’ve embraced OpenTelemetry

I really hate this stuff. Users raise feedback for something they need, the dev team considers the feedback, they spend a really long time thinking about the most perfect abstraction, scope the problem way out to some big fundamental system, and come up with an extremely complicated solution that is "best". The purist committee-approved solution could technically be used to address what the user asked for, with a lot of work, but that's no longer the focus. Pragmatism goes out the window; it's all about inventing fun abstract puzzles.

All the while, the user just wanted to log things.

Not saying that's the exact situation here, but the phrasing in the comment was all too real to me.
