Pretty funny thing, as a person in a start-up in sourth pacific, we host our products in us-east-1 region, even most of our customers are based in NZ and AUS. We only use sydney region as a testing environment.
You don’t explain why but, can we all assume it’s cost?
One reason is cost. The other i think is the number of services.
If I recall correctly, some dns services are in us east only only u host it in other region.

Not OP, but that was the reason for various previous employers.
Current employer it's all in ap-southeast-2 because of data sovereignty concerns.
Getting the Melbourne AWS Region up next year[1] will be good for redundancy.

Due to costs?
