For instance, on-page analytics has _everything_ to do with

I'm sorry (actually, no, I'm not), but the market doesn't work like
that: people don't choose a worse tool for the job _en masse_.
I do like the fact that someone's trying to make a decent free/open
source web analytics tool, but so far I can't get all the actionable
data I need from Piwik, and I don't expect maintainers of much larger
websites to have lower demands. I also don't expect Piwik to ever get
certain features that are only possible when there's either a
centralized entity with a single database behind it, or large
federated networks (and I mean _really_ large).
With its
stone-age IP-based metrics, lack of demography data, as well
as a total zero of on-page analytics? Are you friggin kidding me? :)
Piwik is simply lightyears behind GA.
For what usage does bandcamp need all this Why should a rock'n'roll/punk-rock band being
interested to participate? Why should listeners being interested to
participate?
Another question: why should they care?
