Oh, besides the back-end technical mess that is AMP, just from the standpoint of a user, one can encounter catastrophic faults with its design:
- can't share articles using android's builtin share widgets because it points to the amp pages
- Navigating away using "Open in $BROWSER" option from the Google app in Android opens up the amp page again instead of the source page.
- can't see embedded article widgets like tweet blocks, maps, overlays, animations
- Attempting to do things like Comment on an article triggers navigation away from the AMP page to the actual site, forcing you to then scroll down once more
I've become accustomed to opening AMP pages and looking for "View article on actual site" link as a matter of course. It's just so horrible.
