Yep, it's opt in for publishers. For users, the only way to opt out currently is to view in desktop mode.

Users can use encrypted.google.com to search on mobile, but yeah, there should be a search setting for them.

I've heard of this strategy before, but it has never worked for me. Encrypted.google.com just redirects to google.com, and I still get AMP.

I now use https://github.com/bentasker/RemoveAMP, but that's only possible because I'm lucky enough to have a Jailbroken iPhone. :/

Are you using a userscript app or extension for jailbroken iOS devices?

I'm using software that allows me to load userscripts in Mobile Safari on my iPhone.

I guess you'd call it an "extension"? It feels weird to use that term, as it implies (to me) that there's some sort of extension framework in place. There isn't, it's just code injection.

Thanks I’ll try looking it up!

Yeah extension does sound weird.

Oh, you're Jailbroken? Feel free to shoot me an email (in my profile), there's one thing that's a little tricky...
