FWIW, I had something of an impression that Google AMP was kind of a hacky attempt to "fight back" against Facebook Instant Articles, which made browsing random news on Facebook "more fun" and faster (etc.) than using the web (and particularly Google).

It was. It is now retroactively justified as "a way to speed up web" or somesuch.

It never was more than a way to grab traffic, market and money share.
