Aside from knowing which toons had the addon activated i cant imagine any more accurate measure. Digging for that specific information however I would see as an invasion.
Installed (present in the addon folder) doesn't always mean used though. I would imagine a large portion of the populace stop using an addon well before they actually remove it. I know I have to do periodic cleaning of my addon folder and wtf folder for addons i stopped using some time ago but never bothered to actually remove. I could be in the minority on this however.
My personal question on this is, How would the overall data be useful aside from deciding whether or not to continue working on a project due to lack of users?
Not knocking the idea. I'm just genuinely curious.

I think that for the rankings of addons on WoWInterface the number of downloads is irrelevant, while the number of people using it is. And I just like to know how many people use my addons
