This is why I hate AMP.

People who like it can't seem to understand that it has a crappy user experience for some people and always assume you don't like it for "philosophical reasons".

I really don't care about AMP from that POV, I just wish it was a secondary link instead of the stealth replacement of where I wanted to go with a page that usually doesn't load and messes up my back button.

I’m with you. I expect in the coming days I will have to switch some of our elder’s search engines to DuckDuckGo to avoid problems. I just hate technology that changes the user experience in a broken way. Browsers are supposed to act in a certain way. Don’t break that. Breaking UI is why we had a hate on for Win 8. It really annoyed people with the changes.
