They are just playing defense since the govt is coming after them for being a monopoly and abusing their power and position.

FWIW they announced their intention to do this over two years ago now, in March 2018:

> Based on what we learned from AMP, we now feel ready to take the next step and work to support more instant-loading content not based on AMP technology in areas of Google Search designed for this, like the Top Stories carousel. This content will need to follow a set of future web standards and meet a set of objective performance and user experience criteria to be eligible.
