HN is a diverse community with many views.

If you understand the view of those who share these URL's, could you explain the merits of their case?

Now I'm not talking about using AMP on websites as I know the arguments for and against.

But as for linking to a resource from a third party site, why would one link to a mirror instead of the canonical URL?

Why not? The link works fine for me.

When the mirror is a faster-loading page (as experienced by normal users who don't have javascript blockers), then that makes perfect sense, no?
