Google has been pushing AMP pages for a while now. IMHO I think if your in the news or general blogging industry it will apply and perhaps give you the competitive advantage above other sites especially if your trying to get into google news.

For non-blog/new type site it's not as relevant IMHO. Majority of the time it's not worth the effort to redesign/implement your site in AMP if say your site is an ecommerce site. It just wouldn't make sense. You would be limited in what AMP in its current format could provide you.
