What is it with this all-or-nothing attitude? Matomo is good enough.

Depends on what you're looking for. Demographic data can be really important for a business and Matomo couldn't possibly provide that.

If you’re collecting and relying on demographic data than privacy probably isn’t very important to you.

Where are you getting this demographic data?
You don't get that from server logs.
Sound like you're not arguing against Matomo but arguing that you really in fact do want to share data with a third party to extract information that your users very much did not consent to.
It's terrifying what comes out of the wood works sometimes.

What is demographic data and how is it collected?

The age, gender, etc. distributions of the people who visit your website. I don't know anything about GA, but I'm guessing they'd know this from the currently signed in Google account.
