I worked at Microsoft early-career and one of the projects I worked on was to integrate with ETW from a Go program to plumb events from Go code into ETW. I would also agree that this is one of the APIs that take a really long time to reason about it and some parts just feel like this API should not've been exposed to anyone who's not on the Windows team at all.

Did you ask why that API is so bad? My guess is "well for historical reason [...]".

  Although it's a single API, the application event tracing doesn't seem to have much in common with the kernel event tracing. I got the impression that they were separate projects, someone made the decision to jam them together, and it's just a mess. But I have no inside knowledge.
