Some systems are anycast and available in many datacenters for bandwidth cost reasons. Netflix used to deploy content caches in ISP edges.

But any single central point of failure might break them. Things like, is this account paid? Dunno!

Netflix and Youtube both still use caches in ISP edges. The internet would melt without them.
