The point is it probably would not be as accurate as one could
hope because internet network infrastructure is network-centric
and not necessarily region-based. Of course you could try to fully
map INET like CAIDA does and keep the info updated on "daily

You miss the point; what they have done is decouple the requirement
for correlation to a geographical location in optimizing content
delivery; the only thing they seem to care about is logical
topographical location.
As for the 'pretty hard work' part; they seem to be making money off
it; how's your gig going?
