You're not wrong. But it's a step backwards and not forwards.
AMP is not any faster to load than the actual site not on google's CDN. The only reason it appears faster in most situations is because google is abusing it's monopoly search position to pre-load and prioritize AMP results.
AMP gives google more control and that's why they push it so hard. This plus their quest for hiding and/or getting rid of URLs so they can use AOL-style keywords within their AMP walled garden is multiple steps back. All the way to the late 90s.
