They're giving us the best option; there is nothing better. They are limited to how fast data can travel between two points and how many places it has to connect through to accomplish that. The best way to reduce the time it takes to get from point A to point B is by reducing the distance between the two points, plain and simple. This is why regional servers make complete sense.

The option isn't forced, it's there if people want to have lower latency, which some highly value.



The IEEE 802.3 standard is aimed at data transfer rates in a LAN environment and will do nothing to improve latency with communications with other countries.
I don’t see what you don’t understand ieee standard are worldwide when it comes to network, it is not just limited to country based. Network speed via its satellite based from JP server sync in japan to na servers in CA, they all utilize fiber network rather its trans-oceanic cable or satellite uplink. The introduction to new standard of greater throughput fuels that growth of uplink when it comes to data and terminals. IEEE standards doesn’t just bring out new cable set up, but new hard to go with it, and its not like japan is being left out of the loop, it is why it’s called a standard.
