Google for sure favors sites with its analytics code.

I know for a fact that isn't true. But I'm curious what gives you that impression?

Because to optimize the analytics, you optimize the site for analytics and inherently give Google more detailed data. There’s no way Google isn’t using that data.

The incentives are aligned for Google to do this. I'd like to believe that they don't.

Can you point to anything that might convince skeptical non-Googlers that Google does not do this?
