It's crazy to me that the team dedicated to AMP had no control and awareness of any schemes were pulled behind their back. This is such a huge org problem.
Unless, of course, the team leadership was on it and this was an insider job.

Whether front line engineers knew isn't that important. AMP Leadership definitely did.
did they though? couldn't this be a small (artificial delay) library injected server side by some higher ups at Google?
I think it’s easier to believe that the AMP team was simply naive, or willfully blind to the implications, or they didn’t care (probably all 3; teams are big enough that there’s room for all).
