It should be.
It will be in the future.
Technology will make that happen.
I don't see these 'fancy' numbers as anything more or less than any other stat. And they are not predictive, except in hindsight - where data will always show that higher 'possession' leads to higher position in standings (all other things being equal, on average) - the catch words that should be included in any stats based discussion.
That said, there are always exceptions.
