Until recently fast food was faster and cheaper than sit down joints and it’s easier to eat while you drive.

Usually in the observability space it is primarily based on the volume of data and sometimes seat count. Especially if it’s freemium like elastic where users can get an idea of volume by running a POC of the free version. Companies do this because of small teams who deploy large infra that would make contracts unprofitable

You can edit the /etc/fstab or setup systemd mounts so all the files are mounted at the correct spot at startup.
