Is that really a problem? Couldn't you calculate an average across users and us that as the peak measurement instead.

Yes, it's really a problem. An average fails to be the peak version for anyone, missing some features wanted by some users, and having too many features for other users.

That's not necessarily true. An average could also be the peak version for many users. And if it is true, I still don't see why it's a problem, the average would still measure the peak state across all users?
