That's really quite useless. I rarely share links by clicking weird "share link" buttons. I usually have half a message already composed in mail/messages/slack, and I just want to cmd-L cmd-C in the browser and cmd-V in the message I'm writing.

Also, "the google.com URL will never be displayed" is a world with an internet I don't want to be a part of.

Google never displays AMP documents on desktop (sans mobile emulation), this won't be an issue.

The workflow I described goes for mobile and tablets just as much as desktop; for the cases where a keyboard is not connected please mentally replace "cmd-l cmd-c" with "tap in address bar to select, tap copy".

Also, others might share an amp link from their mobile devices, which I then end up clicking in a desktop slack/mail/messages app, and there we go again with the amp virus even on desktops.
