I don't see it that way. I think AMP was a wake up call to other websites and everyone starting prioritizing speed and responsiveness.

Early 2000s we had crappy Flash Websites that took a minute to load. I refused to build websites with Flash and would only build websites that were HTML and JavaScript (I HATED JS back than (Maybe it was just me)). I stopped getting business because that norm was slow websites that were pretty and had animations.

After Mobile took off in the early 2010's we had faster connections and those Flash sites worked much faster, except for mobile. Now everything is responsive and 2 or 3 seconds feels like a lifetime.

AMP changed the internet in my opinion, and maybe it isn't needed any more.
