So you think this very website you’re using right now – HN – could be improved by AMP?
I doubt that.
The only pages that get improved by AMP are those that abuse AMP then again anyway.

Re: Abuse of AMP. AMP places sane restrictions on pages https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec#html-tags including hard limits on CSS size, etc... Google enforces these restrictions for pages served through their servers.
This is a much much needed effort to take the publishers toys away given they've proven they cannot be trusted with the full feature set of the web without adult supervision.
You mean TV channels? The ones that all look the same? The ones run by Sinclair broadcasting which will soon be able to control 76% of them?
There seem to be very few true local companies left, the ones around pretend to be local when in fact they're identical to every other one owned by their national parent company.
And that company can afford to do it right. They're rich. They don't need Google to do it for them
In that case not sure what their excuse is but my point still holds true: Their sites are almost universally godawful and they're demonstrably not able to be trusted with the full feature set of the web. AMP provides some sanity including things like hard limits on the size of CSS.
