1) You do realize those sites are pretty much 99% of the web, right?
2) Those sites used GA to statistically analyse and understand their user base, in order to better serve them. How do you propose to do it instead? How to find out what was a bad redesign? A bad landing page? How to understand a conversion ratio? The churn?

Yeah, let's shut that down as emphatically as possible. 2) You can write a book without tracking my every page-flip. You can write a desktop app without phoning-home and tracking my usage. You can operate a store without secretly selling my shopping habits and purchase information to other companies behind my back. Do something honest, or don't do it at all.
