Moving towards a faster web

If Google didn't own AMP then I might be less critical of this change. But they do, and I bet they don't rate any AMP pages served from the Google cache as slow.

They're determined to make AMP the de-facto way of publishing content and this feels like just another way of making AMP more appealing.

You're right. When you judge a move you estimate the intention of whoever made it, and how much they'll personally gain from it.

He Google gains by promoting AMP, and double-gains by incentivizing websites to optimize themselves to Chrome instead of to its competitors.

I haven’t seen an AMP page for quite some time, it seems that strategy is pretty much a failure.

I still see them quite a lot on my iPhone 8... and it's very annoying
