I am not a Kiwifarms user, but since it's now available at the new domain (and according to CF, KF is not cooperating) the threats should still be there. I cannot find them. Can you please link those threats? Otherwise this lends me to believe that the basis of Matthew Prince's sudden reversal on his "free speech" ideals was something else, not the KF content.

The kiwi response states emphatically that they were deleted
Then if the site promptly deleted allegedly unlawful content, why was it deplatformed by CF?
the twitter pressure campaign
It could be the threats from their more important clients https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1565026728241614849
Interestingly, that thread gives no indication (other than the date it was written) whether the user is mad at CloudFlare for enacting censorship or for the lack of censorship.
For the same reason thieves go to prison after returning stolen goods.
Unlawful content gets posted to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, etc. all the time. We don't deplatform all of them just because there was a window of time in which it was posted but not yet removed.
Their value proposition outweighs the harm.
Value of Facebook?
Google exists.
