I have hard time sympathizing with people who made the web a horrible blinking ad and malware laden experience for everyone. Especially when they're complaining about something that brings actually content and performance forward again.
That's the trojan horse though. Google pushes the performance aspects of AMP, when I suspect that's not the killer feature for them. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14529605
Google has a part in that too though. I have a hard time sympathizing with people who made the web into a panopticon, and as such I'm not inclined to hand them more power.
AMP exists because it benefits Google to know what content users read and what they click-through to. It has nothing to do with making a better internet.
