This is so true! Hopefully, the issues mentioned in the post will be fixed soon, considering this is a quite new product. I can see high value for small personal websites, as they would be able to get something for free and focus on user privacy.
Meanwhile, the mentioned issues might be quite beneficial for other companies, such as Plausible or Fathom. They are quite mature on the privacy-focused analytics market, and offer things that Cloudflare analytics doesn't. People might start on Cloudflare Analytics (free) and eventually migrate to something more full-featured.

I disagree with this part of the post because developers who opted for Cloudflare Analytics simply because it was "privacy first" are likely to explore other alternatives before selling their souls to GA.
