> However CloudFlare is not a neutral utility, they are a publicly traded company and have shareholders to report to, can any fire department in the world say the same?

Publicly traded? No, but fire depts in the US were commercial entities paid for by insurance companies. Arguably just as bad.

You had to be a paying member if you wanted them to put out the fire burning your house down.

Well documented that fire depts would stand idly by and do nothing for the neighbours.

But yeah, that's what you get with Cloudflare's shitty analogy.
