Bing also includes AMP in their search results: http://blogs.bing.com/search/September-2016/bing-app-joins-t...

AMP is a standard for creating fast / jank-free web sites, which all search engines can implement freely. Google is spearheading the effort because nobody else did, but they're not monopolizing it. Everyone is free to contribute.

Afaik, AMP is solely driven and developed by Google engineers, both standard and implementation.

Everyone is free to follow, but they don't accept contributions. That is monopolising.

It is not true that AMP does not accept contributions. What is your data to back that up?

Here is actual data: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/graphs/contributors AMP currently has 275 contributors (people whose code was merged) on its open source project. Lets aim high and say 50 of them work for Google (probably a bit less), that leaves about 225 other contributors.
