Yes, a service needs multiple points of entry, but anycast isn't the only way to do that. For instance, DNS can return different addresses to users in different geographic regions, mirrors have long been used for file download.

And the cybercriminal would just take down all of these unicast addresses with a DDoS, one by one, until so many scrubbing centers are down that the rest cannot handle the traffic, resulting in a domino effect.

No, that doesn't work.
