I was under the impression that "customer" simply meant any person who makes use of their services.

Are there certain categories of people who CloudFlare refuses to have as customers?

(I know there are SOME -- for example, as a US company CloudFlare is subject to US trade restrictions.)

As you mentioned, anyone on one of the various US sanction lists. Additionally, anything illegal under US law (particularly CSAM, warez and other kinds of piracy), as well as terrorist/violent content (as the "Islamic State", 8chan, Daily Stormer and a select few others found out the hard way).
