This is kinda ironic. The founders of Splunk originally created the product, because they realized that every sysadmin used their own, single-file script to analyze logs. They cleaned the scripts up and productionized what emerged. The reason Splunk grew to a billion-dollar company in the first place was that those sysadmins preferred to switch over to something that was more enterprise-grade. Life is cyclical.
