From tracking revenue to knowing about data quality issues, vendor and data products don't sell on simply providing information. Value comes from action.
Interesting point about observability being disconnected from action. I guess the issue resolution process/system should be put in place at the same time as implementing the test suite, otherwise you're only solving half the problem. Software development solves this with clear tests at merge time, but since data pipelines can fail at any time based on the data itself, it's a trickier problem.
