That exists now. If you Google search ‘speed test’ (on mobile at least) the first result is now a simple speed test provided by Google.

Doesn't for me... but either way, they could do far more than that.
If I'm having connectivity issues to a person, I have no feedback as to what's wrong. If I'm having a connection issue talking to a person, I want to see my ping to their server, my ping to my router, my ping to my ISP, their ping to their router, their ISP, their server, how much packet loss... anything to help diagnose what's wrong.
Instead, when somebody turns into a slideshow with a robot voice, with no idea what's causing the problem.

I don't know why, it's been around for at least 5 years. Maybe you have a Chrome extension blocking it.
Anyways, Google absolutely does provide that, as well as additional analysis/warnings in YouTube.
So Google's doing exactly what you're asking for.
