I agree with all you are saying, but I wonder how much this actually comes down to software developers. I suspect (but have absolutely no data!) that for many sites, the pressure to add extra stats, tracking, advertising, monitoring, etc etc, comes from 'above' and it's not the developers' choice to add these mountains of javascript libraries to their sites. Perhaps they should push back, but what leverage do the developers have?
