Explanation
This scenario requires two things simultaneously: (1) data residency compliance - certain data must remain stored in a specific geographic area - and (2) global content delivery to serve customers worldwide quickly. A public cloud provider like Google Cloud offers data residency guarantees through region-specific storage controls while simultaneously maintaining a global network of edge locations for fast worldwide delivery. A private cloud cannot meet both requirements economically, and selecting a provider 'only active' in one region would prevent serving customers globally.
