AMP was controversial because it initially prioritized Top Stories cached on Google servers as opposed to other operators, but its nominally open source spec eventually allowed other sites to improve their ad optimize revenue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages#Monet...

I think its current issue with AMP is that it makes the web seem flattened, with pages appearing more the same than having more independent formats. I think that if the average page can be smaller than the average AMP standard e.g less than 1.5MB, then a CDN wouldn't need to prioritize AMP.

A friend of mine referenced the 64KB demoscene competitions, which were creative use of video graphics.https://64k-scene.github.io/

250KB Club seems like a nice place to start with websites: https://250kb.club/
