AMP for email is a terrible idea
Nothing says “we’re listening to your concerns about AMP” like rolling it out further to interfere with a function that is even less suited for AMP.<p>Also, technology companies have a real problem assigning appropriate value to maintenance tasks that just keep things stable and usable.  I’ve had infrastructure responsibilities over the years and the hardest thing about it was that nobody really knows or cares how much trouble you put into having things work flawlessly for months or years on end.  It was important to find lots of visible tasks to go along with the invisible ones.  I guess you end up with things like 40 Google chat clients and “hey let’s screw with E-mail” when there isn’t enough promotion-worthy work left to do in those areas.
