That’s a good point, although I presume the same technology could be used to monitor customers and collect statistics about whether the identity of the server affects the probability that a customer will return.

Metrics can be dangerous because if people are rewarded according to a metric, they’ll work to maximize their score, which might not be what the actual purpose of their job is. However, I don’t think that’s a reason to assume that metrics are worse than no metrics.
