This is the case for PHP library that is used to collect data, but i guess others either already have it or will do it soon. Don't get me wrong - i'm ok with companies adding telemetry, but adding that as an opt-in by default is just not cool.
And this might be just the last straw in us switching away from DD, with all the random price hikes (them counting hosts and RAM on them and basing pricing on it?!), we will probably look into some OpenTelemetry setup we can host ourselves.
Fwiw you can start looking at migrating to OpenTelemetry while using Otel's DD exporter to start with and then continue shifting from there. Luckily Otel's PHP implementation is relatively complete so it should be relatively straightforward.
Shameless plug: I've been working on a DD alternative, pricing based on data volume (instead of adding on by hosts or users), Otel native as well so you're never locked in. If you want to check it out: https://hyperdx.io
In case you are looking for alternatives to DataDog, you can check out SigNoz (https://github.com/signoz/signoz) - we are an open source DataDog alternative and natively support opentelemetry
