One reason why I will be rolling my own at some point is that it allows
me to send back data to the app in the same HTTP request. Specifically,
configuration data that allows you to change the behavior of the app
remotely.
For example, turning ads on or off, changing the types of ads that are
displayed, A/B testing, sending a message to the user the next time they
open the app, and so on.
There are third-party services that let you do those things, but no
service lets you do all of them, so your app ends up making tons of
requests to different services and you have to manage all of those
services separately. Combining this with roll-your-own analytics gives
you complete control.
