I had a section "Why" in one of the drafts but scrapped it because I thought it was maybe a bit too harsh. But the gist of it is (IMHO):

* For vendors logging is _awesome_. There's basically no upper limit, you can log all kinds of things, and you can bill them by usage. And because of the scale it's hard to do locally, which is also good news for vendors.

* On the developer-side, there's always the "let's not think about it too much right now, let's just collect a bunch of info" argument for logging. Which is great if you don't want to think (more kindly: if you're facing deadlines)

I'm sure there's good cases for logging (I read logs occasionally too) but it wouldn't be my _first_ thing to heavily invest in (hence the article)
