I don't think the second statement is true at all. At least I've never had a discussion with a Google employee who expressed that. My opinions come from watching my friends and family who are not techies (by profession or inclination) navigate the web. It's not that AMP is great or anything, it's that most web pages now really suck. I think people really underestimate the extent to which Google (like all giant companies) is a collection of really separate organizations. I don't know any more about or have any closer attachment to AMP than any other nerd that uses the internet. I just think it is the best of the bad solutions to the out of control slow bloat problem with web pages now (and for quite awhile).
