**Executive summary:** This blog post argues that raw PoP (Point of Presence) counts are an optical metric inherited from CDNs and do not reliably indicate application or API security effectiveness; instead, security outcomes depend on network design, Anycast routing, inspection depth, per‑location capacity, and global intelligence/coordination, with different architectures trading off proximity for inspection strength and attack absorption.
