WordPress is not under the umbrella of Automattic. Automattic provides a significant portion of its resources and time into development of WordPress. However, so do many, many other companies and individuals.

I have not seen that much encouragement of AMP from the inner WordPress community. It's been pretty much a mixed bag.

Nevertheless, this post is about a Google-owned and operated project called Web Stories, which is merely a plugin that users can choose whether to install. The plugin will only be successful by the number of users it gets.
