Super annoying feature, since Google hijacks the URL in the process.

There should be a way to opt-out that is simple and does not require the user to be signed-in to do.

Ironically, almost positive that Google hates when links are wrapped like this.

But google already does that
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, believe you're talking about the search result redirects that Google does; which is different, because the user get redirected the the real URL.

AMD'd links never redirect, if you click the X you're sent back to Google's results, there's no way to get to the real URL that an average user would easily be able to do, if the link is bookmarked the link it's not the real link, etc.

They don't redirect for mobile devices, that is. If you visit an AMP URL on a non-mobile device, you'll end up at the original piece of content.
As you likely know, AMP'd stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages Project; meaning AMP'd is for mobile traffic.
