I am a dev on the project... The kinds of people I engage with aren't necessarily trying "to keep all this stuff in a box, control it, etc?". The cool thing about OpenZiti is that it's a split vpn by default. Only the traffic you want going toward your services can go there from the users who are supposed to get to it (core tenants of zero trust principles).
I've seen some companies try to go the route you're thinking. There are definitely high-security type of solutions that want, and need that level of control over the network. They are building solutions around OpenZiti to enable the observability part of the equation you're hinting at.
Generally, though, OpenZiti is ideally targeting applications. We'd love it if every app on the planet had their own bespoke, ubiquitous network connection which the developers could control. The network engineers can control the underlay like they want while the developer can control access to the overlay/apps like they want. Ideally, that would be a best of both worlds situation.
> And so, the corporate VPN inherits too much access also, so it works similarly to your desk.
This! 100% nailed it. That's why the split vpn aspect is so important.
