But that's not what I said at all. Please don't just thrown in things like that. I said that analytics tools can be really useful in many ways to help to improve a website (especially a bad one).

You ask "why", well look here at the features that the open source tool we use provides: https://matomo.org/features/

I'm not sure if you've worked in website design before but many of those features are very important and effective for improving a website. If we want to spread the word about FOSS, and encourage more people to use it, shouldn't we try to make the best website we can? While also informing users about the open source tools we use, and having a clear privacy policy about them?

Well you put up the three bullet points making it sound like that these are the only options, sorry that I misunderstood you.

That's more about about why one should use Piwik instead of a different tracking tool.

Sure. And IMHO the benefit of not having a banner / tracking outweigh the cons.
