I'm not a software developer so please pardon my ignorance, doesn't this put them at basically a "core complete modern cloud provider" - if you fully bought into architecting against them, with their workers product and all, could you fully build and run for CF?

You could probably build a lot on their infra and maybe small b2b startups could get by on their offering, but you can easily outgrow their current offering. Azure/GCP/AWS have significantly more tools that solve expensive problems (like ML hosting, events, SQL database, search, etc.).
I think they're still PaaS and not IaaS. So yes, you can build fully-fledged app with them if you're willing to change your engineering paradigm and not use any of the usual arbitrary computing workloads.
