The title and article feels like hyperbole: As user, I love AMP. It is much faster and lighter. God knows what javascript is running behind those websites that drives my CPU usage to 100%.

As a user, I hate AMP: it breaks links, it breaks browser behaviour on mobile

It's great that you love AMP. There were probably people who were happy with Ma Bell's phone service too. Monopolies usually deliver efficient service, at least for as long as they have to.
