Comment (by jsepia):

 We understand the concerns around having to support multiple domains. Our
 primary reason for doing it this way was making sure that customers'
 requests are always directed to the nearest, fastest servers.

 I was able to find a solution with my team that allowed us to remove the
 troublesome TLD matching logic. In order to make sure that WordPress
 customers don't experience overly high latency when embedding Kindle
 previews, we would like to maintain four different versions of the regex,
 each of one pointing to the dedicated endpoint for that region.

 be able to handle the slightly complex routing on their side.

 Agreed. That is definitely in the roadmap for us.
