Doesn't mean it might not change hands again! (as unlikely as that would be)
As for latency, with Mlab you were able to specify the cloud provider and zone IIRC, not sure if other competitors like Compose have that

That's correct, you specify a provider and region but can also set up VPC peering so all traffic remains within AWS' network within a region. I've used this setup - mLab on AWS with VPC peering and it worked great.
