Reviewing this page I realized sentry warned me repeatedly about Sampling. The docs don't actually tell me why. Just have a blue info panel and a paragraph as part of the validation section, which actually that is a sub point, and nothing you can specifically "verify"

I proposes this reduction

Also, i don't think the OTel instrumentation is really necessary top of the page, it is distracing IMO, and more relevant to next steps with custom instrumentation. We are explaining how the sausage is made, directing you to learn how to make your own, and no one has even tried the sausage yet

If you leave your sample rate at `1.0`, a transaction will be sent every time a user loads a page or navigates within your app. Depending on the amount of traffic your application gets, this may mean a lot of transactions. If you have a high-load, backend application, you may want to consider setting a lower <PlatformIdentifier name="traces-sample-rate" /> value, or switching to using <PlatformIdentifier name="traces-sampler" /> to selectively sample and filter your transactions, based on contextual data.
### Sampling

Leaving your sample rate at `1.0` means that traces will be started for every page load, navigation, and other events like function calls within your application. Depending on the amount of traffic your application gets, you may want to consider setting a lower <PlatformIdentifier name="traces-sample-rate" /> value, or switching to using <PlatformIdentifier name="traces-sampler" /> to selectively sample and filter your transactions.
