EMail already has a reduced HTML subset with most email clients blocking a large set of HTML stuff by default. Most emails are also not big unless you spam pictures in there (which you can strip out and simply not download) so I don’t really see any tangible advantage of AMP over regular HTML email (or Plaintext Mail)
I block all pure-HTML e-mails. Occasionally I check out what was blocked. It’s all spam. I suspect AMP e-mail will be the same. Regular people will send three copies of their e-mails (in text, HTML, and AMP), which I will read in plain text, and spammers (also known as marketers) will send only HTML and/or AMP.
That being said, this attack of Google over the open Internet is the last straw that made me ditch all Google programs and services.
Yeah… No. I don’t want AMP in my emails.

Dear god, give me plain text emails, please!

That must mean you can make AMP pages or something, because based on other things I’ve read, its implementation is proprietary.
Don’t conflate implementation with specification.
