When I see superpower utilities like this, my immediate question is usually "why can't/don't the mainstream options do this do this?".
Based on the opening of TFA, my assumption is that they could, but just haven't yet? Is this something we can hope to be added by more mainstream projects? Or are there technical or cultural blockers I can't see?

Or are there technical or cultural blockers I can't see?" Instrumentation, tracing (for both logging and performance analysis), stack traces and runtime analysis are absolutely not new concepts. There are no "cultural blockers" - this stuff is already used everywhere, and has been for many decades now. There are countless ways to implement those mechanisms. This blog post presents yet another one. There are numerous tools in this space already - across all programming languages, different kinds of hardware and operating systems, and IDEs.
