I'm pretty sure some SDKs don't meet that requirement. For example, on Cocoa, we have two transports. One sends to Sentry, the other to Spotlight. Sampling happens before the transport. So, currently, the sampling behavior is the same for both Spotlight and Sentry envelopes. I'm unsure if having two different sampling behaviours is actually worth the complexity. This could be tricky to set up in some SDKs. It could also confuse users.

This document is defining the ideal state we should be in, not what the current state of the SDKs are. We will need to try evolving the SDKs towards these goals.
