It's hard at scale.

Isn't everything harder at scale? That's not a barrier for entry though.

Building a CDN absolutely is hard to do at scale.

You can't build a Cloudflare competitor in AWS/Azure/Linode/DO/etc. You need your own data centers. Multiple of them across the country, ideally around the world if you want to serve the whole world.

This is insanely hard.

Point taken, For a Global CDN - scale is the point of entry.
