And even if they show the ping it's often a lie... Best example is Diablo 4 half a year back... In-game showed around 60ms when in reality it was like more than half a second +
Network tools showed always at least triple the amount the game tried to let you believe.
IMO publishers and devs are using shortcuts and trying to hide it...
