"It's used all the time in logging."

Which I would consider one of the code smells in question, because logging should be structured anyhow.

I understand there are a lot of code bases in the world that already exist that lack structured logging. That may make it "all things considered the right engineering decision to not fix this architectural flaw today", but it doesn't make it not a code smell or an architectural flaw.
