Opposite of web standards? It's HTTP+HTML+JS+CSS. What part of AMP isn't standards compliant?

The AMP client source is available but worthless. Google validates that you're running their blessed version of the framework and if you change a single bit in the files Google doesn't serve your AMP content anymore.

It's a classic walled garden, like the Android app store. You can develop Android apps that don't meet their guidelines but you can't distribute them through normal channels.

The Play Store is pretty liberal in what they allow, more so than the Apple App store atleast.

Right, so its closed source? Still standards compliant.

OP is complaining about Safari not supporting the most recent APIs, whereas AMP supports only an extremely limited subset of all those technologies.

But I believe the larger issue is how it makes URL meaningless, and futures a centralisation of the web. It's not against the standard, but certainly the spirit of the web as it was supposed to be.

The part that mandates including js from a corporation on your pages.

Yes, using a javascript framework requires you to have that javascript on your page.
