Presumably Amazon has PoPs for CloudFront; why couldn't S3 share the same infrastructure?

They could do that, but they have absolutely no incentive to do so - all it would do is cost them more. S3 isn't a CDN and isn't designed to work like one.

It means two hops not one. S3 gets can be cached but then you have a whole host off issues. Better to get to the origin.
