Agree with most of the points you made. I remember the amount of effort my team in an ad-tech co. spent distributing load across multiple providers/regions to bring down latency and add redundancy. The larger point is that the ecosystem needs to enable this by product-ifying this (a data abstraction layer that is smart enough to put the right data in the right place at the right time).

I agree, there needs to be a product for this to work.

So far that product doesn't exist and isn't even a twinkle in someone's eye as far as I know. Everyone is focusing on "running the same infrastructure everywhere" but I haven't seen anyone focus on putting the right data in the right place.
