I do not know about the internals of Teams making this routing decision but I can guess, that was probably included in the design

The CDN links are a good example of why everything doesn't have to be optimized. The CDN (Content Delivery Network) is responsible for things such as updating Teams. This is not time critical traffic and as such, nothing special needs to be done about it. It's okay if it is even a little slower than web browser traffic as it is an asynchronous download in the background.
Compare this against the media traffic which has to be optimized to provide suitable path during a call.
