I've read the whole (tedious) thread. I'm afraid the lack of understanding
appears to be entirely on your side of the argument. The people who
actually know how the code works have said that it wouldn't be worth the
effort, and the response has been "it's my computer and I should be
allowed make this choice!".
It might be trivially easy to implement the change you are requesting, but
arguing for it on the basis that you've configured your web servers to
create monthly logs, when you want daily statistics, doesn't put you on
very firm ground. That the thing you want to measure is the least reliable
"statistic" available from Analog further weakens your position. (Until
recently, Analog didn't even include the host count in the general summary
unless you explicitly enabled the Host report).
The bottom line is that simply getting a count of unique hosts in a given
period is actually a fairly trivial task. (You can do it in a single line
of shell script). But Analog has always de-emphasised the host count as a
useful measure, and you haven't presented any argument as to why that
approach should be modified.
Analog isn't developed by popular vote, but if it was, you'd lose your
deposit.
(This isn't a request for private e-mail explaining your position).
