Is it possible that AMP pages are preferred because they're a better user experience?

  Google prefers them because they give Google more power. They also: - break the web - hijack content - reduce the value for the publisher - make it impossible for the publisher to monetize their content - are a step back from an open web Pretty soon you'll be 'certified information provider' to Google rather than web publisher. Why stop at mobile?

    >break the web Okay, how? AMP is built on HTML5 standards. >hijack content AMP Cache is different than AMP. Do CDNs also "hijack content", by serving them from faster servers? >reduce the value for the publisher By offering them an option to make pages load faster? >make it impossible for the publisher to monetize their content Incorrect. Read up on the allowed tags in AMP. Both ads and analytics are possible; they're just delayed until after the content is shown. >are a step back from an open web Built on open web standards.

      >> break the web > Okay, how? AMP is built on HTML5 standards. Will only comment on this: it should be easy to figure out a way to break the open web using HTML5 standards: - browser sniffing - crazy javascript navigation etc. Just from the top of my head.
