> I kept hearing from executives a “single pane of glass” marketing speak

It's really unfortunate that Observability vendors lean into this to reinforce it too. What the execs usually care about is engineering workflows consolidating and allowing teams to all "speak the same language" in terms of data, analysis workflows, visualizations, runbooks, etc.

This goal is admirable, but nearly impossible to achieve because it's the exact same problem as solving "we are aligned organizationally", which no organization ever is.

That doesn't mean progress can't be made, but it's always far more complicated than they would like.
