It's ironic that AMP was basically an effort by Google to force everybody to pull every web page from Google's servers, and now Google says "hey caching everything is too expensive."
It's the exact opposite. AMP, as an open alternative to FBIA or Apple News, lets anybody cache an AMP and serve it as if it were served from the original host. Other search engines also cached AMP. It's just that you use Google, so that's the only cache you're familiar with.
Another lawsuit, filed in January 2023 by the US Justice Department, went even further, alleging that Google envisioned AMP as “an effort to push parts of the open web into a Google-controlled walled garden, one where Google could dictate more directly how digital advertising space could be sold.”
Alleging. The spec is there to read, and the proof is in the pudding of multiple companies running AMP caches. We are technologists, not bumbling idiots who don't understand Incognito Mode.
