There's kind of a race-to-the-bottom[0] wrt. decentralisation. It'd be better for the internet as a whole if we don't always pick the most popular (so when your email's CDN goes down you can still communicate on chat, when CNN goes down you can still read BBC). But as an individual I have strong incentives to pick the one everyone else picks, because that's presumably the most stable/documented/lowest cost due to volume.
