Prime video uses a non-AWS CDN when I watch football on it here in the UK

The BBC were unable to find a single CDN that could serve the UK during its peak football matches.

I'd believe it - CloudFront always felt a bit like AWS ticking a box ("we have a CDN") rather than being a good to use product.

that's called load balancing and regional availability. many companies do multi-cdn. in fact it's smart to use multiple CDNs so you can do better in contract time. Twitch uses IVS but we have failover to other CDNs for very large events.
