That might be a more believable explanation of why they did it if they weren't hijacking the content and hosting it on their own domain with left-right swipes that take users off of your site. Users don't actually visit your site, but they visit a restricted shell of it on google.com.

I'm not a fan of AMP either; just wanted to point out that it's unfair to say Google should have encouraged better practises when they did just that.

(Not that I'm a fan of Google/any single company having to be that warden, but I digress.)
