They are caching a chunk of the web and routing traffic from google.com to their cache. Since traffic never leaves google.com, it is now in a way the web itself. This is achieved thanks to AMP.

Technically that's AMP Cache, not AMP itself, but I get your point. It's worth noting however that both Cloudflare and Bing also run their own instances of AMP Cache.

And they are going to hide from the user the fact that they are indeed on AMP page on google server by hiding all prefixes.

They already started doing part of this plan btw - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=881410
