What the heck? A regular user doesn’t understand or care what the technical difference between a “regular” page and AMP is. I wouldn’t call this ignorance per se.
Not knowing and not caring is the very definition of ignorance.
Sometimes I wonder if feudalism must have felt like this from the perspective of the noble people. Will there be a dark age followed by enlightenment? Because right now we seem to encounter self-imposed nonage.
Just because they don't care doesn't mean exploiting their ignorance is okay. I don't know that I agree with the GP that this is a targeted move to get AMP to slide under the radar, but if it is we should totally care. AMP undermines the fabric of the web. Just wait for the day that Google starts serving AMP for sites that aren't even configured for it. When they serve an AMP page, they are doing more than being a middle man, they are controlling the traffic and the display of the site, and the user is none the wiser. Google penalizes you for doing the same thing, specifically because it's nefarious.
I'm pretty sure regular people can tell the difference between a regular page and an AMP page. The AMP page simply doesn't work right and it's quite difficult to miss that.
