This couldn't be further from the truth.

There is no ecosystem I would choose over Java when it comes to observability and it's not even close.

Good luck finding your segfault, oom, race condition or just simply lazy logging culture bug with a C/go codebase at 3am.

I will happily see my proper stack trace, heap dump, or connect directly to prod with a debugger with basically no performance penalty.

That is great for you as a developer. As a sysadmin supporting other people's crap, stack traces and heap dumps are useless beyond forwarding them to the vendor.
