Have you considered the volume that Mozilla's web properties see? AWstats is fine for a small site with very modest reporting needs but a site at Mozilla's scale would need a lot more infrastructure. If it's not a core service, it's unsurprising that they'd want to outsource it rather than hiring a team to run dozens of new servers.

They could sample the data and apply inferential statistical methods. Google Analytics does this, too.
