- Using GA means you're paying for your analytics with your users' privacy.

The product is 'good' iff (if and only if) you're willing to accept those economics and ethics. You want analytics; that suggests they has some value to you. You don't want to pay cash money for it. That's your choice.

But it's not free. Your users are paying for your analytics with their data.

GA is far from a charity. It's a key part of the surveillance machine at the front end of the advertising pipeline.

>They think of all the users, not just corporations.

Yes. They mine users to sell ads to corporations. If you use GA, you are deciding that you're willing to support that. Google gives you analytics, you give them your users' data. Simple as that.
