Does this get slotted in somewhere when people look at it?

Yes the actual copyright information is in the NOTICE file. Is that what you're asking?

When someone looks at this are they going to see [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] or 2024-Present Datadog, Inc? I'm not too familiar with licensing things but it would seem strange to me to have a placeholder

They will see Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] in the LICENSE file. My understanding is that the LICENSE file is a set of instructions which should not be modified. I incorrectly modified it when I originally created this repo. The actual copyright information is in the NOTICE file.
The appendix is a set of instructions. It is intended to describe the recommended best practice for licensing your own code under the Apache License. It is not part of the license itself.
