To support customizing cardinality cap, we need to use Views, but Views are behind experimental feature flag. Though it is possible to offer a MetricReader level way to configure the limit, it is better to offer the per-metric capability via Views too. Until ability to customize the feature is available, it is better to remove the cardinality capping from the SDK.
(Note that the CardinalityCapping spec is relatively new to OTel and just stabilized few months ago, so this is not a mandatory feature to have for the stable release)
