It is incredible how out of touch with reality GA has become. Nothing is called what it used to be, and not a single straight report with simple familiar figures. Everything is abstracted to the point of it being useless. I am pretty sure I understand what happens with the GA team today [1]

We run self-hosted Matomo for analytics. One of the bonus points, besides actual sane reports is that Matomo can see about ~40% more traffic due to being invisible to blockers while being fully GDPR compliant and providing full privacy for visitors.
