Probably because until the recent outage it worked well enough; and because a lot of the bigger providers encourage lock-in via their own geographical-options.

Uploading records to multiple providers, via APIs, isn't so hard, but it's something most people don't realize they need until it is too late - or viewed as something that isn't required due to end-user caches.
- danyork 10y agoThanks. Someone else pointed out to me that some of the advanced features offered by DNS providers, particularly around geographic redirection, is something that is not standardized between providers and so can't be easily duplicated. I can see that - and understand why it would cause you to use only one provider if that was a service you found of value.
