Splunk Add-on for AWS for streaming cloudwatch logs

In the documentation at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/CloudWatchLogs

we see below limitation. Can you please clarify on the same? Can't we use Splunk Add-on for AWS for streaming cloudwatch logs?

 

Due to rate limitations, don't use the Splunk Add-on for AWS to collect CloudWatch Log data which has the source type aws:cloudwatchlogs:*. Instead, use the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Kinesis Firehose to collect CloudWatch Log and VPC Flow Logs. The Spunk Add-on for Amazon Kinesis Firehose includes index-time logic to perform the correct knowledge extraction for these events through the Kinesis input as well.
