OTel-native sounds great in theory, but every vendor still finds a way to pull you into their proprietary query dialect or storage tax once you hit scale at production.

I wish the format wasn't so ass, it's so wasteful and annoying to modify

I have been working observability world more than 10 years and what I can say is that OTEL is one of the biggest step in this space even though different vendors have their own things.

Fake engagement... LOL
