Why would clicking the x on a header lead anyone to believe that the entire page ('tab') would be closed? That's not how... any other page element works.

The first time I encountered an AMP page I figured clicking the x would load the actual page. I was wrong.

Tech people think, x means get me out of this experience. Regular people think close this "pop up" displaying where I clicked to cause this "pop up" to appear.

Well either way that wouldn't result in closing the page.

Because x means close/cancel. Looking at chrome right now there are several x's on screen, they will close the tab or the whole browser.

Except this is a mobile only feature, and you never see an x on the page otself to close the page on mobile.
