A third party website analytics company probably couldn't track the traffic of the users who left in the first place- the whole ordeal was about unofficial apps and API usage.
That's actually a great point. If everyone using the apps bailed it would be a huge number decline that wouldn't register as even a blip on similarweb so it's a terrible metric.
