Is that bad? I would think having everyone on the same handful of platforms should make securing them easier (and means those platforms have more budget to to so), and with fewer but bigger incidents there's a safety-of-the-herd aspect - you're unlikely to be the juiciest target on Vercel during the vulnerability window, whereas if the world is scattered across dozens or hundreds of providers that's less so.

When everyone uses the same handful of platforms, then everyone becomes the indirect target and victim of those big incidents. The recent AWS and Cloudflare outages are vivid examples. And then the owners of those platforms target everyone with their enshittification as well to milk more and more money.
