The stated purpose is to make web browsing faster for the end user (because Google's servers are faster than yours). One way to make your website faster and more AMP-eligible is to use sanctioned ad distributors, say for example, oh how about Google Ads? And because the user is actually visiting Google's servers and not yours, Google gets first pickings on all the metrics they want to harvest from the user. Don't worry, publishers, no one's forcing you to use AMP, but oh don't forget that AMP pages will rank higher in search than non-AMP pages because Google owns the search too :-).
