Because the majority of people enjoy it? And the common user wants fast load and doesn't care about the philosophy of data retention and web ownership?


Reddit links via Google search results were broken for months on my iPhone because of AMP. How many other users had the same issue and no idea what was going on?


That's reddit's fault and isn't anything inherently wrong with AMP itself. Just because someone uses the technology wrong doesn't mean we should hate on the technology. If I use AngularJS to make a Neo Nazi site, should we all boycott that library?


How do you know this?

It's equally possible the majority of people just don't care. That doesn't mean they like AMP or would op-in to it given the choice.


> And the common user wants fast load and doesn't care about the philosophy of data retention and web ownership?

While this is most certainly true, it doesn't mean that data retention and web ownership aren't values worth fighting for.
