The speed gains of AMP are solely due to Google preloading your page’s assets in the search page before you visit the site. In other words the efficiency is not in making the web page fast but simply to enable Google to create the impression of a fast site by preloading sites you may or may not visit.

It’s not breaking the web exactly but it is monopolistic behaviour.
