But Piwik can use methods other than JavaScript in the browser, including importing server-side logs [1].

Agreed, FA looks like raw material compared to piwik. There's a lot of components needed to build a full solution. You need browser capture, data sink, backend aggregation, dashboards, adhoc query capability, etc...
