Why is the pageviews goal centred on "keeping the lights up"
Because a new service deployed always needs mainatenance regarding availability, monitoring and correction of operational bugs and that comes before new feature deployment. Let me give you an example: Pageview API now has less that desirable response times cause it is running without proper caching (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119886). Issues such as this one need to be addressed before adding new features.
That is not to say we are not listening to our users, we have a session at the mediawiki summit arround Pageview API and that is the time to bring your new feature requests. We will see common patterns, evaluate our storage budget and then prioritize features accordingly. See: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112956
Hopefully this makes sense.

Pywik up and running for iOS (simple machine spin-up, if not finished in Q2)
What is meant here by "Pywik"? Piwik? Some shortening of pywikibot?
Other?
