It's possible that some providers may not have the time or resources to increase their bandwidth to MAE-East; also, it's possible that some of them may decide not to, choosing instead private interconnects or other exchange points. The point being made was that MAE-East is not necessarily the best place to be for robustness and performance; the point stands even though, as you assert, MAE-East is (still) the largest public exchange point in the known multiverse.
