I would caution against sweeping generalizations like that. In this case “diy” part is basically just configuration management which with dd you will have to do anyway. And sure they make it slightly easier by providing defaults for most things but Prometheus/grafana do a decent job at it too.

More broadly I’ve never used managed service that would “just work” and wouldn’t require substantial configuration and often times bunch of workarounds but maybe those exist
