It's not a wacky far-out conspiracy theory to notice that Google is attempting to dominate the internet. It's a serious problem that we need to do something about before it's too late.
It is, however, a wacky far-out conspiracy theory to claim that Google is developing this feature for the purpose of internet domination.
The given purpose is phishing prevention, which is the same reason why this exact feature has been part of Safari for years yet no one pointed out that it was a nefarious attempt by Apple to takeover the web and further their walled garden.
Splitting up your plan into discrete parts that seem relatively inert on their own isn't a new thing. ANFO is a good example.
And it's pretty easy to do this in a way that front line and low level MGMT Googlers wouldn't know.
The AMP lead, for example, has posted here, and seems credible and very competent for his own intentions. I'm not convinced he's totally aware of the intentions of his leadership chain.
You're literally describing a conspiracy theory and dubiously speculating on malicious intentions. That's my point.
I'm saying that it's a wacky conspiracy theory that Google is hiding the non-domain parts of the URL to dominate the internet, and you come back with:
What if Google leadership was conspiring in such a secret, surreptitious way that middle management and possibly even the AMP lead doesn't know what's going on? What if this is just a small part of some grand plan?!
Is the treachery of domain-only URLs so deep that even Apple didn't realize they were carrying out pieces of Google's ultimate plan?
