Gmail has a reasonably nice small inner-core functionality with keyboard accellerators which is javascript-portable to my life. I won't trust a cafe computer to run gmail to login, but I can trust my changing personal device to let me run gmail in some consistent manner through keyboarded commands I like.

this AMP thing is just a more overt moment. I'm a frog, and I've been boiled slowly.
