> require significant time investment to even start approaching Google Analytics.

I think that for a lot of the "alternative" analytics tools, feature parity with Google Analytics isn't necessarily a goal, so this may explain your disappointment. I think the only exception here is Matomo, which is the only "advanced" OSS analytics as far as I know.

That's swell and all, but you are going to find businesses still going to Google Analytics because it is easy to setup and free. The cost to consumers by having their data shared everywhere isn't even thought on the horizon.

I'm not ever sure how that comment even relates to mine. I just explained the goals of various OSS project as I understand them. I never said anything about setup costs or price.

They mean that people are going to make excuses regardless, because you get more features for less time, never mind the consequences.

It's people that struggle with the conundrum: "X, Y, or ethical. Pick two".
