A search engines principle job is to provide you with links you can find the answer to your question.

The LLMs are ingesting all of that content en masse and would provide you the answer directly, with no compensation to the writers who actually did the research to provide that answer.

Search engines are symbiotic, LLMs are parasitic.

Except Google forced these companies to use their platform (Google's AMP) to host the content and essentially blackmailed into doing so ("we'll link directly, but only on page 3 of results").

AMP did not need to be hosted by Google.

[Someone1234]

When it launched it absolutely did.

[jeffbee]

Nope. Even the launch press release from 2015 mentions specifically that origins still host their own content under AMP.
