Can we add a (2018) tag on this? AMP is all but dead at this point now that it doesn't get preference in search results...

If it is all but dead why are news publications still including AMP links. For example, following AMP links without Javascript/CSS enabled has long been an easy way avoid some of them that use "paywalls" to annoy and track non-subscribers (instead of simply denying access through use of password protection). See, e.g., WSJ.
