I am not going to contradict you regarding the opportunistic nature of many of the privacy-focused analytics tools showing up lately.
> simple != erroneous
What type of analytics are 100% accurate? I am almost certain almost ANY analytics tool is more accurate than the most popular Google Analytics (mostly because it is blocked by adblockers and being so popular it's used as a spam medium). So, I wouldn't really bash any of the simple analytics for being erroneous when GA is the "most" erroneous out of all, yet it is still the most used.
I still believe my initial point stands, in that having somewhat accurate analytics is usually good enough to take good business decisions in most cases, and if you can do that while being more privacy-friendly, why not?
