AMP seemed like a great technology that ended up being used for user-hostile purposes.


If you swap out AMP for ${generic_tech} this statement seems to describe the latest 15 years of software development.


It was never user-hostile. It was definitely publisher hostile but that isn't the same thing.


Of course it was user-hostile. I can't tell you how many times I would get linked to an AMP version of a page on desktop, with text spanning the entire width of the screen, and no way to get back to the 'normal' version.
