A better question is why would I want an AMP page when I was originally trying to reach the original?
We wouldn't need AMP if the average website experience didn't suck. It's unfortunate that most websites cannot do this[0] without Google forcing them to, but that's the world we live in.
> The issue is that google has been pushing these slow, bulky pages to the top of their results, then they swoop in with AMP to fix the problem. The problem AMP is trying to solve is very real, but the answer isn't to consolidate things further into google's ecosystem.
