Yeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that one. I work daily with everyone from startups and nonprofits to big banks. They use OTel because it solves problems for them. They don't all use it the same way, but they use it.

So, public sector here. We use Honeycomb with OTel and it's most definitely solving our problems. It's incredible being able to see traces up and down our whole stack and pinpoint where an issue is.
