Its very puzzling, my understanding is most people use Google analytics anyway, and anyone serious about it pays them. Do they think they can extract more money from this sector or something? Surely they are the market leaders, unless something changed while I wasn't looking. Imagine that - you pay Google for analytics and they tell you "oh, its a bunch of people using our free proxy service. It's extra to find out more." Seems real fishy.
