As lots of other users have been pointing out, it's because it's their conference day. Usually we see this flood-of-post things with $BigCo conferences but it's the same phenomenon.
Seems a bit of both. They put the self-hosting docs on Vercel.com (https://vercel.com/docs/next.js/analytics), as it requires setting up a project and paying for it on Vercel.
I'd love to see an open source real user metrics analytics system like this. Lighthouse is great for getting a general idea of web perf but it doesn't tell you what real users experience.
Currently the only way I've found to cobble together something like this is Perfume.js with some backend that feeds into Influx/Grafana, which can be a lot to set up.

Is this self-hostable or does it rely on vercel hosting?
Cloudflare offers the same thing for free.
