Nope, you've pretty much nailed it. Google is trying to force everyone to https so that http header data is encrypted, making it far more difficult to track statistical data.
Look for Google to start charging for any useful information from their Analytics, or charging a fee for access to their API for third party tracking software.
Bottom line, it's a money grab being sold to the public as a security improvement.
