But the way Google uses AMP goes way beyond caching, at least in the way news articles are presented. Do I really give anyone an implied license to republish AMP content on their own properties as soon as I put some AMP pages online? There might be some limited control by using robots.txt but that's rather coarse-grained.
My main irk with AMP is that it's mostly an all-or-nothing solution. I'd love to publish AMP pages without allowing anyone to republish my content. The way Google implements AMP also seems like a huge antitrust issue given their near-monopoly in search. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the next EU fines will be over AMP.
