True, but I'd say that has been more Facebook's, Apple's and Microsoft's (Skype's) fault. Google offered it for a couple of years, but no big player started to use federation. So I wouldn't blame Google for pulling the plug on something not being used.

However, your list of evil-doing can be extendend, e.g.

Would you rather Google created a non-standards-compliant system for preloading articles like Apple and Facebook did? I have yet to hear a cogent argument for why AMP, built on existing web standards and supported by Microsoft, Baidu, Twitter, Pinterest, and Cloudflare (among others), is bad.
