It is an optional web standard. There are other search engines than Google.

I can't help but wonder why none of them have thought to start indexing AMP pages (or pages with some other standard or even no standard) in local cache and serve them faster to their users; seems like a space they could choose to compete on.

Consumers can ignore Google and use another search engine, but a publisher that ignores Google won't be in business very long.
