2a) I want to get to the site, not another Google property.

Penalize my search listing all you like, but none of my stuff will be hosted elsewhere.

I thought publishers learned their lessons here - use someone else's printing press, and ultimately, they control what's printed.

They can always turn AMP off if Google does something evil.
