The performance is clearly better, but Google clearly made a series of decisions that benefitted them over either publishers or users - e.g. the lack of a simple "Go to the HTML version" link for each article, the automated hosting in Google's CDN, the type of analytics included, adverts supported, etc.
As a user, when I click on a link and it loads quickly and it's clean, that's great, but then when I try and share that link and realise it's sharing the AMP version, then I get pretty annoyed...
I have seen this sort of criticism throughout discussions on the web, but have yet to come across a response from Google about any of it. Do we have any idea if they plan to modify the service in any way?
