The reason why we went for a higher resolution (hourly) is that we want to monitor these "vital signs" in real time, should something dramatic happen performance-wise or in revert rates or bot activity that we need to act upon. 
We do have a graph of total hourly edits on enwiki across mainspaces here: http://ee-dashboard.wmflabs.org/graphs/enwiki_edits_api - it's trivial to bin by day and filter to the main namespace only, I'll add this to my todo list.
