Just think how Youtube evolved from a seemingly open platform - to now where tons of people are being 'deplatformed' for not towing Google's line. That's what happens when Google gets 90%+ market share.
Remember when the Chrome team decided that certain sites won't be allowed to Autoplay videos? Yet other partner sites (and Youtube) were allowed to Autoplay. What if every single f-ing goddamn feature on your website was restricted based what Google says? If you're not "AMP-compliant" enough, following the arbitrary rules Google sets then they might restrict certain features like video viewing on your AMP site. That's the future people are buying into by implementing AMP. Free speech and the open web will die if AMP gets dominant market share.
