One person accessing data from "origin" is faster then getting it from the "cdn" but the cacheing lets you leverage bandwidth. Instead of building 100gbps of capacity I can instead build a origin server with 5gbps of capacity and let the CDN do the heavy lifting.
If every user where to go around the cdn then the site would break.
