It's more than a couple. The fundamental issue is not the bugs themselves (these are expected) but that, from my perspective, otel is at odds with the observability business because these actors have little interest to contribute back to telemetry agents since anyone can reap the rewards of that. So instead they'd focus more on their platforms and the agents/libraries get neglected.

It's a great idea, in principle, but unless it gets strong backing from big tech, I think it'll fail. I'd love to be proven wrong.
