Certainly you need to know or estimate these things for any given
project, as part of the process of scoping the project goals against
time and resources and adjusting the goals to fit. I just wouldn't
use the information to measure writer productivity.

I agree that page counts are usually not a useful metric. But sometimes
it's useful to count the total number of topics. I find that counting
topics provides a gross order-of-magnitude estimate that can be useful
in the scoping phase (also count the number of screenshots).
