> OTel is flawed for sure, but I don't understand the stance against metrics and logs.
Even if you don't want to consider the privacy concerns: telemetry wastes quite some data of your internet connection.

About the only "privacy concern" with otel is that you are probably shipping traces/metrics to a cloud provider for your internal applications. This isn't the sort of telemetry getting baked into ms or google that is used to try and identify personal aspects of individuals, this is data that tells you "Foo app is taking 300ms serving /bar which is unusual".
I am not sure if it will support session replays like some vendors like Sentry or New Relic offer. Technically, I think session replays (rrweb etc) is pretty cool but as a web visitor I am not a fan.
