AMP is a requirement to push your search ranking for Google searches. So it essentially can become a requirement and a mechanism to lock people into the eco system. I don't get why I shouldn't absolutely detest it.
Exactly, I remember Google promoting tools to improve your website for years prior to AMP. Yet, we ended up with an insanely bloated web. AMP might not be the perfect solution but shows me as a user that mobile news sites can be comfortable. Also, I always had the feeling that the AMP team seemed pretty receptive to community input, I don't have any first hand experience, though.
