While AMP gets a lot of hate, the project offers some decent advantages for new / casual web developers:
1) Strong shove towards default best practices:
- using HTTPS (enabled by hosts that offer free LetsEncrypt certificate provisioning vs. milking newbies for money)
- Mobile first design perspective
- cleaner HTML; pushing CSS into the header
- Toolbar validation that spots many common errors
2) Good pre-packaged components enable at least B+ level designs without going too far from the tutorials
