The suggestion says to cache the js file for the analytics tracker, not to remove it.

Good luck setting caching headers on an external resource.

It's hosted by Google, so they control the cache time.

You actually can host the Google Analytics JS file locally, though I'm not sure it's an officially supported configuration.

Why do they only cache it for two hours? Do they want changes to be that quick to take?

Are you being funny? If not, how do you suggest they do that?
