Who elected Google to act on our behalf? Free market takes care of slow sites. Either they’re too slow to use or they’re not.

And they did. Google, a member of the free market, found that slow sites were negatively impacting them. So it took action.

Last time I checked, Google is part of the free market, no? This is exactly how free markets work. And if it turns out AMP is really bad for the web, then the reverse will happen too at some point.
