Subjective - calories counts vary wildly by person. This count in google could actually lead to worse habits - i.e. "Google told me I burned 100 cals walking (when you actually only burned 20) I can have that extra cupcake!"
So does walking speed, but Google still shows an estimated arrival time. If you blindly trust the arrival time and leave too late for a super-important job interview because Google said you could, that's on you, not Google.
Making people aware of their calories isn't going to magically increase fitness, but the extra bit helps. I would argue that absence of this information leaves more potential for bad, because when that cookie looks super tempting, people will assume whatever they can to justify it.
