If AMP2.0 emerges with ads and tracking embedded in bundles, we will not lose money from those ads. Our performance and battery+dataplan savings will be gone, but we will be no worse than Chrome for such content.

Because Apple and likely other browsers will not adopt SXG etc, such AMP2 content will have to include a fallback link (as AMP does today). We may in such a scenario automatically prefer the non-AMP2 content.

In any case, your argument fails because we are no worse off in the worst case, and in better cases we still block many requests for greater user wins.
