He has a point. For me, most of my 'web' experience isn't doing anything I don't remember doing in 1995. The things websites are doing I usually don't want them to do.
I just want to see text, images, and video with light formatting and hyperlinks. This _doesn't_ require hundreds of megabytes of memory. It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't need the kitchen sink in every page.
Did he? The original comment said "It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't need the kitchen sink in every page." which sounds exactly what AMP is doing.
Meh, I mean, it's in the neighborhood but philosophically unsatisfying.
I want to cut the fat, not add another layer of it on top.
Something like writing a simpler feature-clone (not how it does things but copies the big picture things it does) of postscript with hyperlinks and videos.
