AMP is also bad, because the technical steering committee is 3/7ths Google employees[1], with the rest made up of similar platforms that use others' content, like Twitter and Pinterest.
So content-producing organisations are increasingly strong-armed into building websites the way the platforms want.
Also, having large tracts of the web built using the same small set of severely limited components means we get dull, samey websites susceptible to the same hacks or bugs where things like interactive features are much more difficult or impossible.
