Tentative TLDR: It seems like DD pressured a contributor into not shipping a feature that would have made DD just another telemetry vendor.

It seems like right now, data can flow IN datadog libraries/agents but not out. This PR would sort of allow data to flow OUT of datadog's libs/agents?

And DD doesn't want that because it removes their lock-in power?

Is this correct? This would be extremely crappy of Datadog.
