Ask HN: Why isn't multivalue answer DNS used outside Amazon?

Multivalue answer dns is used widely at Amazon (internally and as an aws offering), but it seems like other providers aren't offering this service.

Does anyone know about why this practice is not widespread outside of Amazon? Besides that, any technical references or analysis about multivalue answer DNS would be helpful.
