What happened?

All incoming flask requests end up as INTERNAL spans (instead of SERVER spans as expected), and they all belong to the same trace:

        },
        "schema_url": ""
    }
}

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the instructions on https://opentelemetry.io/docs/zero-code/python/ to the letter. I didn't make any modifications.

Expected Result

Each request to /rolldice should result in a new trace. The span should be of type SERVER.

Actual Result

All incoming flask requests end up as INTERNAL spans (instead of SERVER spans as expected), and they all belong to the same trace.
