AMP is not a standard. It is a Google product with developer documentation, but that documentation does not make it a standard any moreso that Twitter having an API makes it a standard.

AMP allows your websites to rank better / more prominently within Google and Bing, but it comes at the cost of ceding control of markup itself to Google. A truly open standard would not have hard dependencies on a single for-profit corporation.
