There's a saying: You'll never get rich harvesting in someone else's garden. It's not just Google Analytics, all Google products can be killed off at Google's whim any time, and it's not just google. That's why it's so important to work with tools you could own.

So are you suggesting that the standard company that uses 39 different SaaS products ( https://financesonline.com/saas-software-statistics/ ) should give up all the products that meet their needs and only use free software?

This is a strawman: I didn't say a word about free software.

If you could trivially implement Matomo (a project that has been developing over 16 years) in JS, please open source it. Would love to get rid of the PHP in our stack.

If you're using the docker container it really shouldn't matter.

Security risks still there.
