Usually not because the page takes long to load, but because we need to quickly switch between contexts. The biggest slow down here is not the page load speed, but the _human_ interactions required to get to that other context. Tabs exist because we don't have enough screen real estate to display all the multiple contexts we need at the same time.
Frankly I don't perceive a performance difference between AMP results and regular results. There are abysmally slow pages, but those are the minority of pages I visit, and they often do not invest in AMPifying their page.
I mean really, if AMP was so valued by users, Google wouldn't have to artificially pin all AMP results at the top of their search results. They wouldn't have to limit the ability to opt-out. They could offer an AMP sibling result and see which one wins out the SEO war. But by forcing AMP links to the top, they force publishers to give over their content to Google's servers or be dropped from search results. This is a monopolizing play, not an openness play.
