AMP also offers traffic after the load, so this is in no way comparable to a click tracker (which is also none of their business, btw). This will also offer in-band ad obfuscation eventually.

I’m curious, what do you value about the services you consume? I like transactions where I know what I am giving to the service provider. Do you really want to push away from this reality for the benefit of a few MS load time leaving a search page? That’s essentially what you’re arguing for.
