The problem I have is that I've never found AMP pages to be any better or particularly faster (I guess the news sites I use were already fairly well optimised, but also I always use ad and tracker blocking so I'm not slowed down by any of that crap). But AMP pages are often worse - things like getting cut-down pages with the normal navigation missing or stuff like that. And it breaks URL sharing - if I want to share a link, I just want the regular link, not one with AMP crap in it, but often cutting out the AMP part to try and reconstruct the original URL just doesn't work... So I've never found it better but only worse, so understandably it just annoys me. If it is just that my tracking and ad blocking is making all the difference, then AMP clearly isn't actually solving the actual issue...
