If you have to use their CDN to get the free cert, then it's completely wrong to bring it up as "already is free" in this context.

It seems like you need to use their CDN to get it, so that sounds to me a bit like those "free" gifts you receive with a purchase. Not truly free.

True, I don't understand how setting up CloudFlare and getting a cert are the same. They are not.

It's free, but not the same as what's described in the article. The article is talking about free certs you can use with your own servers.
