AMP is a lot like how I was browsing the web on my phone before the iPhone came out. Opera Mini’s servers would proxy every single page I visited and fetch and pre-compile it before sending it compressed to my phone. It was way more performant than trying to render the page natively on my crappy phone. (That’s why the iPhone was so unique, it was the first phone that could natively render websites really well). Sure, there were a lot less security and privacy concerns back then, but I think the majority of users simply don’t care as long as it works.
