It was definitely not. AMP was mostly a standard for how you should build performant websites. Then you could opt into what was effectively google caching and serving your AMP-enabled webpages for you. This is good actually.
No, AMP was a way for Google to increase their ad revenue and try to prevent people from leaving Google.
