Not only that, having one location for a world-wide user base is usually enough. You can optimize much more through rendering speed, blocking requests etc than by being closer to your user.

And even if your page becomes really popular, 3 locations (Europe, US, East Asia) are enough to be <200ms to any user in the world. And it keeps your setup and cost much lower.

This pretty much fits our definition of "deploy app servers close to your users".

One region works just fine for some apps. Some are worth going to three.
