I'm not sure if you're referring to it, but Google actually DID throw out something very similar for free: Plus Codes (https://plus.codes/ https://plus.codes/) There are still problems with the idea of large tech companies deciding on an addressing system for the whole world (the entire concept of tech colonialism, for example), but Plus Codes are an undeniably better implementation and also freely usable.
