For me it's the sense of ownership that's missing. If I hosted it myself and just looked at data in the server logs - not even fancy javascript analytics - I'd get more information. Not having access reminds me that Facebook is using me to collect data on all my friends.

I think that's going a little far... HN/Reddit doesn't give me server logs either. Very few web properties do. Very very few.
