Typical Neil. Playing hard to get.

I'm guessing he's referring to AMP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages

It's not really a replacement of HTML and certainly no
more than it's already being replaced by monstrosities
like Wix webpages and commercial sites that wrap
everything in javascript, so that script is required and
the resulting page is more of a push format than pull.
(Wix pages consist of script that pulls page data from
a central Wix database. There isn't actually any site at
somewixcustomer.com.)

The general description of AMP sounds to me very much
like Microsoft's tricks with IE. They come up with something
that they pretty much own. The pages usually come from
Google's cache. They use corrupted, custom HTML. At the
same time, some of what they're doing makes sense (like
sandboxed iframes and quicker rendering for phones) and
they welcome everyone else to join in, so long as Google
essentially owns it.

I think the webmasters are actually more to blame with
this stuff. People want to make a buck with ads and they
want it easy. They don't to have to learn how to actually
have a website. They don't want to figure out HTML and CSS.
So the fully "civilian" types, who know nothing, set up on
Wordpress or Wix, while the ones who know a little coding
load their pages with easy-to-use Google script and ads.
Gradually they've come to think it's normal that 3rd parties
infest or even host their websites.
