>Similarly, if you're still living in the past and / or want to maintain your own server instead of pass it through a 3rd party like that or a CDN
You acnkolgege some people want to "maintain there own server", but its worth pointing out for high-traffic orgs there are some good reasons for doing so. Maybe you want to be an organization that does this at the CDN origin rather as CDN as to be CDN agnostic / have a multi-CDN strategy. This doesn't mean you are living in the past. It means you want CDNs to compete for your traffic and not have you locked in with crazy price leverage over you.
