But if the issue is with transit (as it appears to be) and Cloudflare peer with multiple transit providers - how is it worse? Of course in other circumstances a single dominant player may be an issue - but it doesn’t look to be the issue here - and if anything their level of peering would allow faster recovery than other smaller content hosts (used in the loosest sense) which may have less peering.

Centralizing connectivity over cloudflare makes the impact worse.

Furthermore, centralizing services over a handful cloud providers only encourages reliance on few large carriers.
