> While all of the components of page experience are important, we will prioritize pages with the best information overall, even if some aspects of page experience are subpar.

However, in cases where there are multiple pages that have similar content, page experience becomes much more important for visibility in Search.

All sounds pretty sensible.
For anyone working on this: Why wasn't the above done sooner? Was it challenging to come up with a fair page performance metric for instance? Was a very slow loading page not penalised before?
For people that weren't happy with AMP: is this moving in the right direction?
