Cloud companies will charge you if you use their features without limits: news at 11...

Observability solutions of this type are for the big companies that can typically afford the bill shock. These companies can also afford the routine auditing process that makes sure the level of observability is sufficient and inexpensive. Smaller companies can just log into a few servers or a dashboard to get a sense of what's going on. They don't need something at this scale.

Pretty much every solution listed lets you fine tune the level of data you observe/retain to a very deep level. I'm personally more versed in OneAgent than OTel and you can control everything to a very fine level of data ingestion.
