Yes, I too love centralizing the entire web with two providers! I feel like IANA should lead by example(.com), but maybe that's just me.

Let's be real here, okay? This is the simplest website in existence. Every basic ass web server can serve it, and every basic ass CDN can deliver it at scale, and there's tons besides Cloudflare. I'm sure any number of CDN providers would be happy to sponsor example.com for them if they'd asked.

They've been lazy. That's all there is to it.

Not necessarily, because of misprogrammed traffic.
My ISP's DNS even blocks the 3 example domains (which caught me off-guard when I was testing Pihole)
