I dunno. I'd like to see some comparisons. HTTP is so broad. Observability tools do good with it. But I think it's deceitful & disingenuous to blow this topic off like this.

Streams use features like HTTP2+ Push, & there's all manner of semantic meaning implicit in headers & schemas that regular http wont see that these tools pick up on. I want to be sold that the complex multi-directional multi-stream works fine, are fully observable, but I suspect seriously we're overreducing, not being honest, by discarding the difficulties of tuning observability to specific protocols here & saying general http support will buy us everything.
