I'm obviously not an expert; if you wear the watch and the +/- seconds is within specs or what one was hoping for, why does the amplitude matter?

So the reason we’re recording amp is because it’s one of the key symptoms of this movement if it affected by the issue a lot of the threads are talking about.

Yes, that's the accepted wisdom.
However, I wouldn't be surprised for the standard to evolve and become more flexible to take into account these new movements that seemingly can run ok with low amplitude
The 32xx movements aren't naturally predisposed to running with amplitudes in the upper ranges to start with and it's understood to be a feature of the design.

Measuring amplitude is regarded as a measure of the health of a movement. It is a non-invasive way of assessing the movement against acceptable norms.
