Front loading machines aren't supposed to be left open, are they? I've used decades one always closed, never had mold/fungus. Could it depend on the water quality? Those were Whirlpool though, not Samsung.

I think that one of the interesting features with AMP to get good performance is its free ("for now"[1]) caching system. They also mention that " Google has provided a cache that can be used by anyone at no cost, and all AMPs
