Google has pushed speed in virtually everything they've done since day one. Asynchronous, deferred scripts. Always outrageously fast loads. Simple, lightweight ads. They even built a browser to try to push speed. I despise ads, but blaming Google for the situation that we're in is seriously missing the mark. Google wants the web to succeed, for their own selfish reasons. They don't want it to become a wasteland of zombie scripts, cryptomining, pop-overs, and abuse (which tends to be even worse on mobile, as an aside, abusers knowing that mobile users often have fewer tools). They have been pushing pro-web policies since the early days. AMP, as cynical as people can be about it, is one of those.
