The amount of packetloss has significantly decreased after their move to the NTT datacenter. But NTT also only has two datacenters in the US. San Jose and Washington DC. Given that they were receiving numerous complaints about a datacenter on the east coast, they picked the west coast one as anyone on continental northern america should typically be just fine. Europeans were given their own datacenter and if they were looking for a stable gameplay experience, would be encouraged to go and play there. It also improved the connection for players in Austrailia if they were connecting to NA servers.

Chicago, Houston, and Dallas are not options while using NTT's backbone. And if SE were to switch datacenters AGAIN for some reason, it'd still depend on the provider, their backbone, their peering with other providers' backbones and last-mile (home/corporate) ISPs for a connection. And 10-20ms of negligible connection latency wouldn't be worth that. A more stable connection is valued much more important than one in an arbitrarily nicer geographical location.
