I think that it's disingenuous to say OpenTelemetry and Sentry aren't in competition. I think it would be good news for Sentry if DT were split from the project, and instrumentation and performance monitoring weren't commoditized by broad adoption of those parts of the OpenTelemetry project. I think you, the author, stand to benefit directly from a breakup of OpenTelemetry, and a refusal to acknowledge your own bias is problematic when your piece starts with a request to 'look objectively.'
