Yev from Backblaze here -> we have more than two data center locations, but we do have two regions (US-West, which is spread out across California and Arizona and EU-Central which is in Amsterdam). Slight nuance, but very different!

You're right, but for me as a customer it doesn't matter. I can choose from two geographical locations and cannot use both at once with one account. So there's no option to get data close to my users.

You can front it with Cloudflare's CDN for free.

You're not allowed to use Cloudflare to just serve files, at least not in free/cheap tiers.
