Not entirely true, most networks today is FIFO, w/o any kind of QoS on it. As most unmanaged and managed switches/routers come with that configuration.

ICMP is not a very robust means of "monitoring" a device. The ICMP protocol is often lowest priority in traffic queues on routing equipment and as such will frequently just be discarded during periods of high link utilization or high traffic load. In particular, trying to "monitor" a device across the Internet, your ICMP is really best-effort.
