Something that specifically has documentation on bypassing anti-tracking security software[0] is not "privacy-focused". Your users have indicated that they do not want you to track them and have gone out of their way to stop you from doing so. Attempting to bypass that is specifically taking steps to undermine their privacy when you absolutely know they do not want that.
A "privacy-focused" solution (not that software that's specifically made for spying can be "privacy-focused". Let's call a spade a spade: it's spyware) would at least use standard endpoints to make it easy for users to opt-out by blocking those endpoints. In this way, GA is actually more privacy friendly.
"Some lists can be overly agressive" is also a bad attempt at gaslighting. Your software watches the way I browse, including tracking purely client-side events and outbound links (see "journeys"). You attempt to track things like device characteristics and what operating system I use. That's creepy and voyeuristic to me, and is exactly what spyware blockers are for.
Actual privacy-friendly analytics looks more like the Steam hardware & software survey where they ask if you'd like to tell them these things, and show you exactly what they are going to collect.
Absolutely, privacy preserving analytics is an oxymoron. And besides survers without informed consent the best solution is to simply track less. Think hard about what information you actually need and will even look at for more than once.
