This isn't some global conspiracy, it's just incentives and economies of scale. When it's cheaper to pay a hyperexpert to handle your security, why wouldn't you?
The fact that physical distance is no longer a limit to who you do business with means that you can select the cheapest vendor globally, but then that vendor has an incentive to hyperspecialize (because everyone goes to them for this one thing), which means that even more people go to them.
Avoiding once-in-a-century events just isn't something we're willing to pay the extra cost for, except now we have around twenty places where these once-in-a-century events can happen, which kind of makes them more frequent.
How much stuff do you host on Hetzner instead of AWS?
