My apologies. Now I see what you were saying.
I worked for 17 years on the "AWIPS"(*) project, in which logging was
split into different files based on date and application. It was an
excellent, easy to use (both in programming and in debugging
applications) thing. That experience influenced how I evaluated what
you said. The log files were text files, but as you say,

IMO? I'd now say you're objectively correct.
thank-you, Ed.

products and producing forecasts, advisories, watches, and warnings;
used in all US National Weather Service Weather Forecast Offices (and
several other places). It runs on Redhat Enterprise systems.
