This article is quoting "CDN experts", in other words people with a financial interest in CDNs. It's not in their interests to point out how the proliferation of CDNs results in centralisation of the internet and hence makes them tempting targets. Or how it gives a few companies the power to effectively shut out certain groups of users from large parts of the web (like CloudFlare did to Tor users a while back). It's really disappointing to me to see the CDNs swallow the web whole. But at the same time I understand it, it's not really possible to protect against DDoS attacks for example without that kind of scale.
