The Amp javascript can be self-hosted [1] away from Amp's servers, there's even a framework demonstrating how to do it [2]. The only difference is that it doesn't pass Amp validator, which is necessary for the Bing search result icon. Developers have requested the feature for the Amp validator to include self hosting but it hasn't been added yet (or have any plans to AFAIK).

Interesting, though I am citing the AMP spec, and it does say MUST. I'm curious if Google would put a self-hosted AMP page, for example, in their carousel. I think it probably can't.

  It's been exactly a year since Google announced they are no longer prioritizing AMP content in the carousel, or as SEO in general, so they probably would put self-hosted AMP there (if it passed the SEO bar): >Besides algorithm changes, there will be several user-facing changes. For starters, the Top Stories carousel in Search will no longer be limited to AMP content. The Google News website and mobile apps will similarly surface more non-AMP content. Lastly, the AMP lightning bolt icon will no longer be used to badge eligible content: https://9to5google.com/2021/04/19/google-search-page-experience/ https://9to5google.com/2021/04/19/google-search-page-experie...
