They could start right off with the Android Developer documentation website.

It loads for me within 500ms. I don't think that is particularly slow.

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.

Well, these badges are going to appear in a lot of Wordpress websites.

Google does a really poor job of assessing page speed, especially for sites with a lot of client-side processing. Why would they think shaming sites is a good idea?

Because they hope that it will drive the badged web pages to AMP?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen!
