Nobody wants to be blamed for something not being in the logs, probably in production. So everybody adds everything to the logs, you can always filter out the noise but not the reverse, right? And very soon the logs are completely unusable for your regular-dev cycle. Of course in java world, the IDE reigns, and checking logs is an "antipattern" anyways, you must use the fantastic debugging GUI that is provided by the behemoth. Everything is normal, you see.
