I find it curious Google pushes amp, yet the new google analytics 4 doesn't even support it.

I have a feeling AMP is really dead and now they're looking for ways to get news back after forcing so many people to embrace that terrible tech.

I'd be curious to hear why you are sensing that AMP is really dead? It this just based on Google Analytics 4 or are there other signs as well?

They wrote a commitment blog last year, then shortly after they re-did the entire AMP leadership board and with things gone quiet ever since - the GA4 not supporting analytics surely doesn't help.

I filed a bug and nothing much has happened...

It appears that the current excuse is GA4 isn't ready for primetime? makes no sense...
