This is just what is expected in exchange for the "Real-time CDN by Fastly" phrase at the bottom of the page to make it reflect the reality. I'd say that not getting access to download stats from the start is a fail on the side of PSF or whoever involved in coordination with Fastly. There are many CDN providers out there and I suspect so far only Fastly was contacted. The primary responsibility of that coordinator is correctly sending the message for CDN provider that PyPI is a public exhibition of their service quality, and not a tax exemption for charity. I'd say Fastly should be interested to help with making us download stats exposed in a convenient API friendly way, because real-time stats is the key feature of their marketing advantage as I see it.

What is the current problem to tackle on?
