Do we need to be worried about concentration risk with CDN? eg: Cloudflare/Akamai

As the title says, Do we need to worry about the concentration risk towards CDN? Of course, internally there will be replications and redundancies to handle the failures but the recent outages are examples of concentration risks.

A company "X" which lost millions within the outage duration it makes sense to invest N+1 redundancy across all single points of failures.

If we can summarize the entities which are keeping the internet infra running, What are the top companies "running" the internet? What are my options to keep N+1 redundancy with vendors?

Thoughts?
