Why emulated 3g on pagespeed-insights?
As i checked on google, pagespeed measures mobile and desktop sites using "Emulated 3G network". As per some GSMA report from 2016 that 75% or users are on 2G/3G networks.
Thats almost 2019 year and many users are on 4G now, so reports are useless.
Can someone tell Google that either they should use "No throttling" or add switcher for 4G network.

Yes, to answer questions you might have and help solve problems. We are not a line to customer support. Sorry, we aren't going to call Google for you and give them a heads up. They have some smart people working for them and know 4g is more common now.

Yes, Google refers to Stack Overflow for specific, answerable questions, and refers to their mailing list for feedback and general discussion. Either way, this type of question is off-topic for Stack Overflow.

Per GSM report for 2017, 71% of Global users are on 2G/3G network. That number drops to 32% for North America and 59% for Europe. While we are definitely moving toward 4G dominance (predicted by 2025), it seems too early to ignore such a big part of consumers.
