Counterexample: Kiwi Farms, which transitioned to a distributed hosting setup across a variety of providers after the recent Kerfuffals. But that was more to avoid a single point of failure than to mitigate latency concerns.

And yes, efforts are ongoing to identify and punish the hosting providers involved, their principals, and their principals' families.




Proves the rule.

I think we can all agree that what kiwi farms has to do is not what 99.999% of people will have to do. Due to their current high world profile they have many of the same needs as a corporation.
