If you wanted to send spam, or run an attack, you’d want to run your traffico via tor or a vpn to hide your home or office IP.

Not sure why iCloud relay would be a problem.

isn't icloud relay just a vpn?

It's an Apple VPN, which makes it special since you usually don't want to piss off Apple/iOS users with "anti-bot" crap.

Tied to a unique and expensive Apple hardware serial number. It's a reputation-certification VPN.

It’s an HTTP proxy. Two layers of proxy.

I was just assuming that paying iCloud users might be less likely to launch bot attacks. But on reflection I guess that is just bias.
