Seems they are not (Meta is mentioned on their profile), but it doesn't make sense either way. Datadog should not be pressuring either their own employees or others to add Datadog relevant collectors to OpenTelemetry, especially when their public position they put out is that they "love" and support efforts like OpenTelemtry.

Oh wow... I worked with Boostchicken at Sony. He's not at DataDog afaik.
