Confirmation Google "Page Experience Update" Delayed Until June 2021

[engine]

If you missed the announcement, Google's "Page Experience Update" will be delayed until it gradually rolls out in Mid June 2021.

I would imagine its gradual as Google will be monitoring the results of the roll-out, and how it impacts its bottom line.

For those without their finger on the pulse...

To provide you with more actionable insights, we're introducing the Page Experience report. This report combines the existing Core Web Vitals report with other components of the page experience signals, such as HTTPS security, absence of intrusive interstitials, safe browsing status, and mobile friendliness.

Reading between the lines, they are slowly out-phasing AMP with this page-experience update. They mention AMP nine times, and in most cases in the context that AMP and non-AMP content will be treated more equal than in the past.

Well, if Page Experience is such a major concern for Google, will it continue offering weightage to AMP Pages? Means after a website has good speed on Mobile and Desktop, will it still require an AMP version?
I don't think AMP will have its importance anymore.

If I add AMP to my mobile pages they become slower. AMP is great for slower sites or heavy CMS and widget using sites but pure static code can't be made faster. AMP may make the overall web faster but you can't penalize the fastest sites just because they don't use it etc. AMP is a tool, just having it doesn't mean faster though.

Regardless, it takes google a long time to gather data about the user experiences of your pages so it's probably too late to change things for even the delayed update. It's a good idea to improve the user experience anyway so start with your most trafficked pages, those update fastest.

Apparently it's coming to mobile first (in June), and desktop second, separately:
