Even so, I’m tired of jumping through hoops to adhere to bullshit standards that make life hard without any actual benefit. We have HTML and CSS, why do we need AMP? How does my personal webpage benefit from HTTPS? Why did they enforce mandatory HTTPS across the entire .dev TLD in WebKit, breaking my local test env, when it’s only used by a few internal projects at Google?

They seem to have a vested interest in making web development harder than it needs to be.

It prevents bad actors like ISPs or public WiFi APs from injecting bullshit into it.

Do you even know what AMP is?

Poor phrasing on my part. I meant that fast websites can already be built without adhering to the AMP standard.
