Global load balancing - what was wrong with this?

thanks to the wyze team for the firmware update , it solved the problems I had connecting remotely over cellular.

but after reading the below post, i am wondering as wyze already had a globally redundant setup which was working well before, why change this? it sounds like a step backwards in redundancy.
it’s not the like the military is shopping for home consumer cameras to monitor their silos

After we launched Wyze Cam, we heard concerns from our community about traffic going outside of the United States due to the global load balancing. We then implemented “Server Restriction” to limit traffic to only US-based servers. Although we don’t think the server restriction is the root cause, it is related to this issue.
By removing the server restriction, a user should be able to view the live stream outside of their local network.
