> Around half of all websites use Google analytics so good luck totally avoiding Google.

Isnt adding Google Analytics to the website a decision solely and independently made by the website in question?

You said you you can browse the internet independent of Google and I’m saying you can’t because yes other people can force Google onto you

Whether a company has a business relationship with a company you dont like, doesnt make the same argument you're making.

It is like saying, I dont like Coca Cola but when I go to McDonald's to eat food, they only serve Coca Cola. Hence, Coca Cola is.. bad? McDonald's is free to chose any business partner they like, and you insisting that McDonald's shouldnt use Coca Cola sounds silly.

If you went to McDonalds and had to drink Coke just to walk in the door.
