Personally I'd have been surprised if it hadn't been the case... I recently got myself a server, and even though I'm really newbie at this, I already understand how crucial logging is. I have only a handful of users on my (niche) service and already I gained really valuable insights from scouring my logs, for example there are some concepts that I thought were self-obvious that some users obviously didn't understand so I'm updating the site to explain these simply and clearly so that there's no possibility for confusion. I'm planning on adding much more detailed logging, as long as it's not unnecessarily privacy-invading and as long as it doesn't degrade the user experience at all (ex: I wouldn't add tracking via extraneous GET parameters because it clutters the URL location bar). Now, I just one newbie and already I want to log everything. Now scale this to a megacorporation. How can you be surprised?! If you start logging something at the moment that you realize it's good to know, it's probably already too late, you can't go back in time to log it.
