That has not been my experience. Quite the opposite every place I’ve been that outsourced monitoring ended up bringing back significant portions of their observability stack either for needing more control, different feature sets or because the outsourced solution was cost prohibitive.
I think it is true that lots of teams continue to outsource storage of metrics data but the outsourced vendors are not incentivized to make it easy to do retention/filtering/aggregation well.
