Because the majority of sites run on/behind:

- AWS

- Cloudflare

- Azure

- GCP

- Great Firewall of China

Maybe there was some truth about "the world market for maybe five computers", after all...

What I am saying is that we are getting "scalable websites" today individually, but it has cost us overall resiliency because most of us all are hiding behind the big providers. I am not so sure if this is a good trade-off.
