Serilog EcsTextFormatter: Not what I expected

Elastic Observability Logs
1

This c# code...

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .MinimumLevel.Debug()
            .WriteTo.Console(new EcsTextFormatter())
            .CreateLogger();
        var user = new Elastic.CommonSchema.User
        {
            Id = "111",
            Name = "test"
        };
        Log.Information("{@user}", user);
    }
}

...puts the 'user' object under '_metadata'. I would have though that because I used an Elastic.CommonSchema.User object, it would have come out at the top level. What am I missing?

Heya @sgtobin. To help out anyone else with a similar question in future, I thought I'd link to our discussion about this on the GitHub issue:
