I suspect the story is a bit more complicated. They seem to learn a lot by centralizing a lot of the internet's traffic through their core. Perhaps it makes their ddos-protection more robust when they can train on "what normal usage" looks like "for the longer tail". Perhaps they are building moats around that business and expecting a future when Fortune1000 requires their cdn. |

Their CDN is based on their SDN. Which is also at the core of all their products, including DDOS protection.
Their primary product is the SDN and a CDN was a logical pick as first product "release".
Eg. You shouldn't consider their products in "regions" as traditional cloud providers. In cloudflare it's programmable, not configurable.
