Matomo/Piwik is great if you're looking for a more ethical full-blown Google Analytics replacement with pretty much all the same stuff that GA tracks too. So compared to Plausible it has a heavier script (22.8 KB vs 1.4 KB) and it is a bit more difficult to understand for people not too experienced with website statistics.
Plausible is built with simplicity, speed and privacy in mind so you're set out of the box. No need for extra configuration to make it compliant with regulations and no need to spend time exploring all the different reports and metrics. We just show few of the key metrics on one single page.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
My take after looking at the website is that it has simplicity of use going for it (like Piwik did in the early days) but it's not as open because of the lack of support for self-hosting.
Yeah we're open source and the full code is on Github but we haven't made it ready for easy self-hosting yet. The focus was on building the product first and we're a small team. There's some progress on the official Docker container with several community members involved so hopefully easy self-hosting will be ready too soon!

I can confirm that Matomo is a great alternative of GA but not the best one I ve encountered by now . For example it creates 16 dB tables in WP.
Yeah, it is not a very lightweight solution as it tracks pretty much the same amount of data as GA does.
