This is a real-time game. What the computer is doing is directly in front of your eyes.
Limiting yourself to only naive senses is a wild proposition to me. The scientific mindset compels us to see further: it is a wild privilege to see more, to build and use tools that expand how we can see.
Furthermore, to me useless or excessive data is very much a reality (if you do not agree that it is a possibility and a thing that happens, we have clearly no way of understanding each other), and per my criteria it is just that sort of data in this use scenario.
About excessive telemetry, that depends on what you want to achieve. Using facilities in the OpenTelemetry Collector like [2], you can easily drop all telemetry you have no use for. At the cost of tooting my own horn, we actually provide super easy ways of doing the same dropping at no charge whatsoever to the end user in Dash0 [3].
