Take a look at El Reg's AMP version vs m.register if you want an example of Google doing something absurd and the world asking "how high?"
m.register is faster than AMP, if other publishers are saying "oh wow, our pages load 300% faster" it's because they didn't know how to design (mobile) websites in the first place.
Yet El Reg is obliged to make an AMP version otherwise it won't get listed at or near the top.
Also worth noting that Google saying this is open source. It always is, at the start. Then the open source part disappears.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
