Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I've been considering this over the summer break and come to the same
 conclusion as @jorbin and @johnbillion that this is not ready for
 inclusion in WordPress Core.

 For me, the big problem is that Google does not yet support IndexNow.
 Given they have over 90% of the market share for search
 [https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share according to
 Statcounter] the benefit to site owners is outweighed by the maintenance
 burden for core contributors.

 Google have gone their own way with the
 [https://developers.google.com/search/apis/indexing-api/v3/quickstart
 Google Indexing API] but it does require an API key. The docs indicate
 this endpoint only works with limited structured data.
