That's a perfectly valid way of using logging: if the convenience functions suit
your needs, there's no need to use anything else.

Some people need the logger hierarchy and it's there for them, but no-one is
forced to use it.

Indeed, and the very first code sample in the logging documentation shows
exactly the simplistic easy usage you're talking about. I can't see why anyone
would be scared off by that example.
