Between piwik and server logs you'll have far more accurate and useful data than google analytics can provide. Apathy and/or ineptitude are the only reasons I can think of why people use google analytics.

If people like to use other solutions that they find more accurate and helpful, that's fine of course. But in response to the OP, calling Analytics a trojan and running from the facts is a dumb strategy to boost rankings.
