(Fri Aug 23 2019 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)) Google first told us about AMP five years ago, spinning it as a way to - as the name suggests - speed up the web experience on mobile devices. Mobile devices are clearly extremely important, since most people are using such devices to read websites. Since mobile devices have constrained abilities, we should develop websites with technology to match, and AMP was a way to force us to do so. While laudable, the implementation puts Google squarely in control of web technology, and that's not right.
