Yeah, also for cloudflares core business proposition (ddos mitigation and DNS forwarding/filtering) you need to be massive and to have multiple PoP's in order to assess whether or not a certain IP requesting a certain URL and sending over a certain length of packets should be accepted or whether a challenge should be served. You can't know any of these things unless you have an extensive network and clients.
