I was surprised recently when setting up cloudfront with aws certs that it forced me to use us-east-1 to provision the certs.

Bingo. This is the one most people don't know about.
The idea would be to actually load distribute between different cloud providers.
But even then , the load balancer needs to run somewhere. Which becomes a new single point of failure.
I’m sure someone smarter than me has figured this out.
