"Deserves" as in "my site is a great result according to Google". If it's not, Analytics affecting SERPs for the site is a moot point to begin with as its only going to provide confirmation to Google that its in the wrong place for the phrases they are ranking for.
You're right, everyone seems to think Google owes them something and everyone gets all bent out of shape when rankings change as if Google somewhere promised them indefinite traffic.
My fascination with this conversation is that most people seem to believe that using Analytics is going to have a
negative effect and the common thinking of painfully stupid people like Venusblogger that state categorically that it does hurt rankings no matter what - which is obviously not true and no reasonable person could reach that conclusion.
