I think everyone is so negative on the post because the post is a sleazy ad in disguise. If it had opened with "these are the reasons that we are unsatisfied with analytics which led us to launch our own alternate service, plausible" or even just "why we made plausible.io" then we would know up front that it's an ad but maybe still a worthwhile read. This hides the fact that they want you to maybe try plausible to the last section and the last bullet of the table of contents. Its nothing about the product and everything about the underhanded advertising.

Where's the sleaze? GA does shady shit, Plausible has a competitor product and they're making the pitch on their company blog. What am I missing?

  They used a clickbaity title and deeply buried the lede by disclosing that this is an advertisement for a competing (paid, non-self-hosted, proprietary) product only at the very bottom of a long list. I would bet 95% of readers did not realize this was an advertisement until getting to the bottom.
