If you're in a testing environment, where your SIT and UAT are looking to break stuff though, don't you usually want to be able to look to a log of everything?

I could see a couple reasons against. For one, it's expensive to seralize/encode your objects into the logger , even if you reduce logging level on prod.
Secondly, you can't represent the heap & stack well as strings. Concurrent threads and object trees are better debugged with a debugger (e.g. gdb).
