This correct answer was one of the first posted on this story. So color me disappointed that the top comment is now some unrelated rant about AMP and how evil Google is instead.

Because it should be. AMP is generally a terrible experience and the exact opposite direction the web should be going in.

How anyone at google ever signed off on this is beyond me.

You find it terrible, perhaps, but users seem to love it.

The problem it is solving is very real, and users love that. We could solve it by encouraging good site design instead though, and that would be a better solution.

Yep! That's the one

You can put your google analytics snippet on AMP pages and then you don't break sessions. Bounce rate still increases significantly.
