I think there is a problem with so many people using cdn's when often they aren't needed, because they are adding another layer of centralization on top of an already too centralized platform (dns). There are other ways to prevent ddos other than just a cdn, which is the main reason I hear other techs say they use cdns. Thats not really a comment on the issue at hand, but I can see how potentially questionable moves in such centralized gatekeepers could cause others to worry about precedent being set and followed by others.
