You should self-host 3rd-party libraries for performance and reliability reasons anyway

- reduces the number of TCP connections - reduced the risk of failure if the relevant edge node can't be reached

Browsers don't support cross-site caching of 3rd-party content so whatever limited benefits there might have been of using a library CDN are long gone

A CDN isn't about caching jquery and sharing for various domains, everybody knows that doesn't work anymore.

It's about getting jquery physically closer to your users. And sure upload it to your "own" CDN that you pay Azure or whoever for.

I be willing to bet that most web developers don't know about how the browser cache is partitioned

And most people don't know that it never really worked (apart from perhaps a few Google fonts)
