"big in the CDN market" is very different to "has enough pull to significantly centralize the internet like Google or Amazon".



CDNs are literally the other thing (aside from Public Cloud providers) that are centralizing the internet.

You statement is the exact opposite of reality.


That’s a very harsh dismissal and I don’t think it holds up well because it ignores the difficulty of switching. You can switch CDNs quickly, without needing any user actions, whereas it’s considerably more work to switch cloud providers and even harder to get users to switch their usage.
