It doesn't use dashboard block by default, as it is non-bundled. I'm not sure if it will become bundled.
It doesn't automatically create a GA property, or work out what property to use - this is possible with the GA management API, which would need some more work https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/
It isn't CSP-safe. Some changes would be needed for that.
We will now provide Google Analytics integration, but there's no need to make it as seamless as this issue when the typical user won't benefit much from it, and when there are various concerns around Google (privacy etc).
