Honestly, AMP shouldn't even be required. Bandwidth speeds are way up from before. We have a bloated ecosystem where ads come first and content second. They are putting a draconian bandaid on the problem. What we need is a more civilized internet with content FIRST. The old Google adwords worked in that way, as it was fairly unobtrusive text. But now visiting the vast majority of websites and it's tough to even find the content...

Completely agree. Given the choice between a lightweight non-amp page and an amp page, the choice should be the amp page. But that's not the choice, it's between a shitty bloated slow impossible to navigate (often times one that doesn't scale to mobile well) and a lightweight responsive amp site. The user isn't to blame if the site is making that decision
