Re:Kill Google AMP before it kills the web

That's also not an alternative — Google can't be allowed to treat pages different in their results just for using Google's AMP Cache.
An AMP page served without cache has to be treated the same, or this becomed exactly the freedom issue that this entire discussion is about.
My pages are actually optimized a lot, and they actually get about 10x slower with AMP than without.
I don't want to have to choose between fast loading and good SEO, I want both. And Google only offering good SEO to those who let Google track all user interactions with their page is also not ideal (I specifically do not use any ads, analytics, or tracking, not even storing IPs in the server logs).
