What about the fact that it was originally called Page Speed Project and was a genuinely open standard; that that was subsequently shut down in favor of AMP? That the difference between the two is that Page Speed did not have attractive collusive lock-in effects while AMP does have collusive lock-in effects?

Did it work? Page Speed existed for a long time, and over that time, a huge portion of websites became bloated as hell and ridiculously slow. Hackernews is just about the only website I can think of that didn't.
What are AMPs collusive lock-in effects?
