I have not heard any talk about this up until this email. I wouldn't
want to add an option to sysinstall for this unless bsdstats was part
of base. If it were, this would be trivial, but I don't really want
to pop up any optional package menus other than what already exists.

This idea was mentioned a few years as a way to improve advocacy
statistics. Something short and sweet, with a one or two line
explanation encouraging people to install the BSDStats system. If it
were a yes/no option similar to the "Would you like to install Linux
Compatibility" then it would be a no brainer. Honestly this seems
relatively unobtrusive and quite logical.
You're right, it is just for advocacy statistics. bsdstats is not an
integral part of system operation. We prompt for Linux Compatibility
because it could be needed for technical reasons. While advocacy is
certainly important, the installer needs to be simplified, not
complicated even more with unnecessary options and menus.
