Plus pageviews are done on Google's servers, so Bing doesn't know which website has many views and which doesn't.

How does Bing know it for non-AMP views?

A lot of websites would have a bing ads tracking Javascript.

You're right - Bing can't. Google knows a website's pageviews because it can cleverly cross information between the search engine, Google Analytics and Google Map's by-foot frequentation of shops (for shops and customers with tracking allowed). I'm just underlining that not owning a good share of all 3 of those may make it much harder for future competitors to enter the market.
