I strongly agree with this. The other day I was searching something on my phone and stumbled upon the result in Reddit, which was using AMP. I clicked the result, the AMP UI was loaded but the content area had an ever-spinning loading icon. It was frustrating, I thought maybe it was my ad-blocker on iOS, so I disabled it and tried it in Safari's Incognito mode. No luck...
After 5 minutes of diverting from my main task and try to debug what is wrong with this, I gave up and just removed the AMP URL prefix to head for the actual Reddit website (not sure how a non-poweruser would figure this out). There was simply no other way to reach the information I needed from the Google Results page which did not let me leave the AMP page.
Either Reddit was broken at the moment or something with AMP or something with my mobile client. But the web is supposed to "just work" and Google is seemingly breaking that with AMP. I am certain it helps some people reach to content easier with less data costs but if only it "just worked".
