My guess: Google wants a thriving web (ie. with more activity on the web and less on facebook) and someone has argued successfully that slow speed on the web is an advantage for facebook.
Should they also give their cloud services a badge of shame? Love how google thinks they are the judge and jury of the internet yet they can’t go 6 months without a major disruption.
I envy you. Loading https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/Bl... takes about 13 seconds for me (until the desired topic is shown). And then the page is usually scrolled to either too little or too much. That is on a 100 mbit connection.
Maybe I'm being naive but couldn't this be good for users. For instance, if a page is taking forever to load and the slow badge comes up, the user would know its not a connection issue.
How long until sites with non-amp content, non-google-analytics, and non-google ad providers get flagged as being slow, even when they’re demonstrably not?

Finally, I am not sure we need Google doing these kinds of things. I pretty much do not want it.
Whether a given site responds in a timely way is not Googles call, particularly when they are trying to own too much with AMP.
Why would they think shaming sites is a good idea?
