Just being curious: what is your definition of "third-party-run"? As
example: deb.debian.org. It uses Fastly, which is shared
responsibility. It is run by someone else but provides a product that
Debian configures. But where would be the limit?

I doubt that there will be any reason for us to point Debian names to
mirrors the provider controls.
There is one provider providing it's own mirrors: Hetzner. They use an
already existing mechanism to configure the mirror to their own if not
overriden by the user. So there is no name controlled by Debian
required.
The whole reason for this stunt is to protect Debian. Protect Debian
and it's users from screwups by
- the providers themselves,
- a laps in the agreement that currently provides access to Debian
mirrors on Azure and AWS and
- single Debian developers controlling resources.
