It's way simpler. It exerceises the same features of remote helpers. It's easy to read and understand. It doesn't depend on python. It does _not_ exercise the python remote helper framework; there's another tool and another test for that.
You mention why you _think_ it is better, and what it is _not_, but with your excitement, end up failing to mention what it is. I'll try to reword the commit with this sentence: This script is to test the remote-helper interface. somewhere. Please check what I'll push out on 'pu' after I'm done for the day (probably in 8 hours).

I hinted at this in an earlier message, but creating this file as a tracked file at this point in the history is a bit irritating for bisectability. After you build and test an earlier commit, this path is a generated and ignored, and then checking out this commit or a later one will fail without "make clean". It is only a minor irritation, but still noticeable. Thanks.
