Note how the most useless stat was selected.
No one is going to make what is really matter public, like (the number of
new installations – the number of removals).

And, of course, those downloads that are used to install on several
computers, as I have often done.

We're very sensitive to user privacy concerns. AOO 3.4.0 and beyond do
not even have user registration steps during install. So, as you say, we
don't have the means to count installs. But we do have many years of data
on downloads, including data back to the OpenOffice.org days. Although we
cannot equate downloads with installs, knowing the number of downloads, and
the trend in that number, is useful information.
And this is hardly novel. Microsoft and others reports sales, not installs.

Downloads are easy to measure. Installations and removals aren't.
