Lots of major companies still today don't have a global deployment platform. A lot of stuff is still very centralized because the complexity of managing infrastructure multiplies with the complexity of the existing infrastructure.

Do they actually need one? With replicated deployments you will want a globally replicated database as well. This makes operating your app n times expensive and time-consuming where n is the amount of locations

Correct what most places did when I was working for a pretty global place, they'd have their central stuff. But where it needed to be closer to client it would be like servers handling video and voice streams.
