Simple marketing. The lay-people still want google analytics. Not saying it's great, but that's been my experience. When I was still freelancing, I worked really hard to talk people out of analytics. Waste of time for most businesses.

I set up some good analytics for one client but their marketing team insisted on Google analytics anyway. Many others don't know how to use it and are just happy to know how many people are coming from what source or how many used the app this month.

In what way? Are you saying server logs aren't just as good for basic analysis or business dont use analytics?
