In my experience, about half the time when I do need a log message it
still isn't there. I have to use a debugger, packet inspection, or
some other technique to figure out what's going on. Programmers are
very, very bad at predicting which log messages are likely to be
useful. Even if it is present, it probably won't tell me most of what
I need to know to understand and fix the problem. Log messages are not
that helpful in practice.

The reality is devs don't need almost all log messages almost all of
the time. In those circumstances the sensible thing to do is to turn
them off by default and require extra steps to turn them on for the
0.0001% of the cases when it might be helpful.
