I'm sure they have geographically distributed and anycasted servers. I'm talking more the moral or sociological impact, post-Snowden, of relinquishing control of our services to a handful of third parties en masse. It seems that building systems that are designed to be distributed, federated and cooperative isn't actually enough to overcome our natural tendency to want to pool resources and build communal lines of defence against the perceived 'Big Bad'. Broken middleboxes meant HTTP/2 needed to become TLS-only, which now means middleboxes can't be used at all, which means no caching, which means we all go to Cloudflare or another CDN as a professional MITM service. It's all fairly ludicrous. In principle the idea of ISP web caches was a good one, just like how ISP provided DNS caches are essential in keeping the Internet as we know it reliable.
