That's absolutely true. I just found out that there are currently two AMP cache providers, Google and Cloudflare: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/fundamentals/how_cached. For users with some objection to Google, it's not clear to me how they are supposed to change their personal AMP cache provider, like with a browser configuration setting or something. Is it Cloudflare's intention that other search engines like DDG use their AMP cache? |

There's no such thing as a "personal AMP cache provider", as the AMP cache used is mostly tied to "where you came from". Google Search will always use Google's AMP cache, which is why the "you could always run your own AMP cache" concept is silly.
The goal of AMP is functionally to allow your search engine to preload the content from search results, at it's own origin. So any AMP-enabled search engine would need to run it's own AMP cache and serve the site out of their AMP cache. AMP doesn't realistically speed up web browsing in any other context (it adds plenty of it's own JavaScript).
