AMP would have been fine and so much less controversial with a simple change.
Make the AMP icon (or some other element) lead to the AMP page and leave the normal link as the main search result.
I hate AMP for completely practical reasons and have no issue with the ideology. It messes up my back button, the top bar is annoying, and most importantly I frequently have AMP pages fail to load with a white screen but had the normal page load. It's bad enough they're tricking me into visiting an AMP page (I've never intended to visit one), but then it's broken when the source page isn't.
