> Getting AMP results from Google search has been one of the drivers leading me to switch to DDG, so congrats Google, one less customer.

It is a cliche but you are not Google’s customer. You are their product. If you don’t find AMP compelling they don’t want to serve you ads anyway.

Yes, but less product is less profit, and they do want to sell you ads, AMP or not!

So yes, it is a loss for Google.
