I have found AMP to be an awful experience. It messes with native scrolling physics, pages are often incomplete or straight up broken. It also disables Reader mode on iOS so I'm always forced to load the full web page anyway. Luckily iOS 15 web extensions have solved that problem.

I agree. It's one of the imperfections of the AMP. I like AMP for quickly skimming between the results and then load the original page if I find something lengthy ro read.

It's not an imperfection, it's by design. Reader mode removes ads.
It also strips out all the crap the site's UX/UI people use to try and keep you on the site.

I think most non-techies have no idea what AMP is to begin with.
It's just, once again, "my phone is doing some annoying and unexpected shit I didn't ask for".
Anyway, the AMP experience was a fresh breath in the world of 10-20 seconds webpage loading times. You see the lightning icon, tap it and the content instantly comes. Swipe right and left to go through the other results and everything is displayed instantly, top notch experience - especially when Googling for stuff from the news websites.
