I find it curious that even the ones (which I've used) that provide
checks at best replay your audio, or tell "your audio is noisy".

I figure that a few checks should allow them to give info like "There
appears to be 50Hz line noise in your system, consider moving things
from power cables", "There's low SNR when you talk, move closer to the
mike", "Your setup has echo that can't be cancelled automatically" or
"This sounds like ASMR, get a pop filter unless this is intentional".
Can't be *that* hard to do...
