AMP has been created for product managers. Everybody in a project knows that slow and bloated pages hurt users, but business requirements are making it impossible to do otherwise. Google AMP solves this problem, in an authoritarian way (hence the outrage), by defining what's good and bad for the Internet.
Marketing has taken the lead in corporate websites projects to the detriment of the end-users, AMP puts the user in the center.
As user, AMP makes my life hell. It made me change nearly two decades of search engine loyalty because Google decided to embrace extend and extinguish. Screw those assholes for breaking the back button, accidentally scrolling to the side, and URLs. I mean, I hate outlook and office with a passion, but the AMP team has somehow produced something even worse: take a monopoly and forced a terrible UI and experience in a huge number of users. Every memeber of the team should be thinking of how they can spin their time at Google as being not related to AMP. Such crap, and such a bad direction for the Google experience.
Exactly. I read a good article where Google is basically admitting to being "bad cop", in other words product managers and devs often try to push back against "please just add my one more shitty ad and pixel tracking library" from marketing and business teams, but AMP gives them the power to just say "sorry, that's not technically possible with AMP".
