Well, at least the Ookla AI has a sense of humor. I wrote back noting the rather odd response to my inquiry to which I received the following reply:
The Ookla script installs this: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ookla_speedtest-cli.list
That list file has two URLs which contain "raspbian". If you change raspian to debian, the apt-get update errors go away and you can install speedtest version 1.2.0.84-1.ea6b6773cf using apt.
Oddly, it produces wildly different results from the same version installed on a MacBook Air:
Pi

Turns out there is a solution to the installation problem. This courtesy of u/ARnonym123 on Reddit:Dear Mr Xxx,
The Deranged robot is very sorry to have let you down.
