Assuming their claims of anonymity are true, they won't be tracking users at all.

I imagine they can get much richer metrics through this as opposed to only tracking downloads on the server side.

I'm not saying I like it. In fact, I plan to keep it disabled. I'm just saying it's a bit naïve to think client-side analytics are the same as server-side download tracking.
