Usually the problem is those steps are taken care of in different functional groups. Need decent leadership to align steps. Ppl applying measurements very rarely have data warehouse knowledge for example.

In my experience, this depends somewhat on company size, but you're absolutely right that alignment is key. If an engineer instrumenting a new feature doesn't know where the event logs are going or why they matter, the odds of them doing that instrumentation accurately are slim
