Publishers who use AMP were already allowing Google to track everything through either Analytics or Ads.

Likewise, AMP pages are mostly accessed from Google search that's already tracked.

As a user I can choose to block GA, either through URL blocking or through legally mandated cookie choices in some regions (e.g. France). When served from Google I have no choice in the matter.

If you can block GA at the client, you can block google.com at the client, no?

Not if I want AMP pages. (I mean, I don’t, but there are presumably people who do.)
