Except for the fact that now only Google tracks you. Also, doable without AMP.
The hate from many isn't about being a website owner. It's about being a website user. When I click on a link of a website, I expect to go to that website. Not stay on Google's site.

That's a great objection to Google not linking to the original site.
It's not an objection to AMP. Nothing about AMP prevents Google from linking to the original site.
