Basically the whole web has no single point of failure, with the exception of DNS, and even that is decentralized. So what do you do with that?-- obviously introduce a single point of failure in the form of a private service.

If / when that service fails, won't people just do whatever they did when they didn't have that service?

Like pasting the domain into googles searchbar, as a lot of my older relatives (50+) did/do?

I'm afraid a lot of people don't even know how to get from an "amp" page to the "original" webpage.

Like doing the search that got them to the amp page in the first place in another search engine.
