Statistics module has less functionality
Based on Drupal 8.3.1, it appears that documentation is incorrect. Well, they seem to primarily relate to Drupal 7.

The statistics module doesn't appear to store IP addresses or user names.

The module does provide a popular content block, which is based on view statistics.

The module also provides views integration, so you can create reports that have statistics data using views, but it doesn't add any default views similar to the reports mentioned in those docs.
