Automattic is running a pull based CDN that would literally work on any URL. Hardly creepy https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/photon/

"Literally work on amy URL" is right. As far as I can tell, if you give i0.wp.com/ i1.wp.com/ or i2.wp.com/ *any URL of a media file* those domains will happily scrape it, spread it around their CDN, and start serving it!
