The problem with multiple geographic locations, in this context, is that you'd have to read from all of them, and compare the results, to know that you have file corruption. Which is, needless to say, not something that it makes sense to do.

The purpose of data block checksumming isn't to make your data more resilient (at least directly), it's to make sure you know you have a problem. Once you know you have a problem, then you can go read from your alternate datacenter or whatever.
