Yeah, like mentioned in the post, Plausible is not meant as a clone or a full blown replacement of Google Analytics and Google's ecosystem. Some people want to run GA and want full integration with Google Ads, advertising and the rest of the Google ecosystem. Plausible may not be the best solution for those use cases.

We designed it more for use cases where people want to de-Google-ify their sites, or where people want more privacy to their visitors or people don't want to deal with all those cookies and GDPR consent prompts etc.

There is no issue with WordPress websites but we do want to provide an easy to use plugin for WordPress. It would be easier to implement Plausible that way than having to insert our one line script into your site manually. It's on our roadmap.
