> Cloudfront or similar should offer DDoS protection for free as a gesture of goodwill, it's good bragging rights for CF so everyone wins.

Well, it is still a lot of wasted resources (bandwidth, energy, compute) for everyone involved (ISP, CF, attacker, defender, compromised machines), so I wouldn't be so quick to say that "everyone wins".

Consider it a 'cost of doing business'. Everyone gets DDoSed, I'm pretty sure that's one of CloudFronts primary service-based solutions
