domain name system - DNS hosting design - should secondary server not be spread over countries, networks etc?

My DNS registrar and DNS provider recently had a long outage, rendering all my domains unusable (email, own+client websites etc).



They have 3 DNS server, who are all in the same co-hosting facility!



I know just enough about networking to make my spidey-sense supertingle, but not enough to condemn this. Is that not an atrocious design?




Should they not have been spread across lines, networks - even continents?
