I'd ask the opposite instead, what is it that leads people to AMP over "the original"? I have never been directed to an AMP page except in case someone shares AMP urls. And I use a lot of browsers and search engines, just not

WhatsApp. The desktop version has very few features, requires constant connection to a mobile phone and gets out of sync very often. It's practically irremediable if you're in a crowded wi-fi area and ethernet is the only way to g
