Mozilla made Google limit their use of user data first. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697436#c14

I mean, presumably the people at data.firefox.com are data scientists; and presumably those same data scientists are used by Mozilla to answer any number of internal questions. So, like any proper data scientists, their response to "how highly should we prioritize this task for the public" is "let's get data on how interested people are in the report."

so apparently no one cares about the site then.

Adding Google Analytics is incredibly trivial in most cases, and gives the devs tons of insight into how people use their site.
