This is not actually true (I did this update) and we should change this. The advice here is that you should always run the Open Telemetry collector on your hosting platform and use this to send OTEL events to the observability tool that support OTEL protocol. I suggest that we also include a nice diagram here.

@msfussell is the current diagram in the doc ok to use, or does that need to be updated?

@msfussell @hhunter-ms IMO the diagram is still correct but maybe the verbiage could be updated to something like:
"Dapr directly writes traces using the OpenTelemetry (OTEL) protocol as the recommended method. For observability tools that support OTEL protocol, it is still recommended to use the OpenTelemetry Collector since it allows your app to offload data quickly and includes other features like retries, batching and encryption. For more information, read the Open Telemetry documentation."
