While you are at it, why do we not kill the one TraceExporter per service into one TraceExporter for the whole thing? Imho it does not make sense to configure that per service, either you want traces or not. If you need traces for a specific service, just filter it in your OTLP UI?

OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTERto decide which exporter to initialize. The new env var defaults tononebut can be set toconsoleorotlp.When set to otlp the default env vars can be used to configure it:
See https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/sdk-configuration/general/ and https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/sdk-configuration/otlp-exporter/ for details.
To send the traces eg to jaeger (which supports otlp OOTB):
