Again, I'm not harvesting data. I'm attempting to make the most information from access_log possible. I include not tracking pixels, no 3rd party analytics, no fingerprinting, no anything other than just getting information about what pages were loaded. It would be nice to know that all of the traffic from a specific IP is a prolific user or several users from a VPN/shared access location. I don't care who/what you are.

Everyone jumps to the conclusion that just because someone is parsing a log means <evil> and that is not necessarily always true. Some of us want to respect user privacy but at least have a general idea of the number of people visiting a site.
