EUREKA. This was it. PROBLEM SOLVED.
GLAMorgan is majorly affected by ad blockers. Specifically: most ad blockers will try to aggressively block URLs that contain "metrics" in the URL name. GLAMorgan is executed in Javascript from the user's browser, so it's subject to ad blocking because the Pageviews API call to Mediawiki is to "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/incubator.wikipedia/all-access/user/ ..."
Turn off ad blocking, or use a browser profile that doesn't use it, and you're good.

Oh, thanks for that reminder - yes, it seems to work in Safari, but I'll test it in other browsers I can access. I've updated the meta-wiki page with a warning.
After some sleuthing, it may be because of ad blockers, as the Javascript console on Chrome reads "net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT"
Since each of the HTTP API requests are generated from within the user's browser and reads like this:
https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/pageviews/per-article/incubator.wi.... ..
I'm wondering if this is a case of ad block false positives because the URL has "metrics" in the name, which is a key thing these ad blockers aggressively filter. However, right now toolforge is having a bad hair day, so I cannot test this.

Thanks all for the feedback and conversation.
In the meantime, has anyone gotten GLAMorgan to report back any useful
pageview data?
Regardless of small, medium, or large categories, I keep getting: "Data for ... pages could not be loaded from the WMF pageview API (404
error)."
What browser are you using? As I noted earlier, GLAMORGAN works (for me) in Edge, but not Firefox. It also reportedly works in Safari, but not Chrome.
