There are so many CDNs, they have existed since the internet was just for porn. The problem is they are not as easy to use for today's novice webdev with zero knowledge of how to administer or even research infrastructure beyond the stack specs.
I don't think the issue is a skill one but rather giving a sane option.
Going to Akamai's site I don't see a single mention of pricing, I don't want to be smooched by some enterprise salesman to get my pricing options.
Going to Fastly's site I see egress costs that makes me think I could probably be better of just staying on AWS,Azure or smth and have a single bill to care about. (That have their own expensive options).
There's probably other small players with sane options pricing wise, but when it comes to managing DDoS issues people want someone big to handle the bulk.
