Both wikipedia and pypi requests are >99% readonly and cacheable, and neither have strict global consistency guarantees. That makes them very cheap and technically easy to run through a free global CDN like cloudflare.

You make it sound like Cloudflare would be OK serving all Wikipedia or pypi traffic for free. Reality would be a little different.
Fastly currently serves all of PyPI's CDN traffic for free. Cloudflare probably would as well.
