It seems like another “standard” that puts an immense burden on everyone else so the big players can save .01% on their bandwidth/power costs.

It puts a burden on developers at companies that publish content, but users really like its fast pages with less bloat.
Maybe it’s just my bubble, but even my friends who don’t work in tech dislike amp pages for pretty much the same reason as those who work in tech. That being that greater than half the time when we click a link we didn’t want the AMP site, we wanted the actual website. The “less bloat” often times means less functional website.

It might come down to most people I know having high quality internet connections though, such that the load times aren’t as big a concern.

Definitely a bubble thing if your friends are aware of what AMP is.
