There is also the Cloudflare AMP cache that can be hosted on any domain, so it is easy to implement a link aggregator that gets instant article loading just like Google and Bing. Compare to the situation prior to AMP where if you wanted instant article loading, you would have to convince publishers to integrate directly with you like Apple News or Facebook Instant Articles.

Dominant AMP cache is a meaningless concept. You as the link aggregator have to have your own AMP cache to implement instant loading.

"You as the link aggregator have to own your own AMP cache to implement instant loading."

You lost me there. By "link" you mean URL?

Yes. If you're a search engine, a Reddit, a Twitter, or some other site that presents links to other pages expecting the user to click through to multiple pages, you can safely prerender AMP pages by implementing your own AMP cache but not by using Google's AMP cache.
