My mobile device (iPhone) relays most traffic through the nearest Akamai datacenter. So they don't get my IP address. And that datacenter has a massive number of IP addresses, which are rotated.

Out of interest how do you know it's being relayed through an Akamai DC? I assume you're talking about private relay which I also use, but I thought cloudflare was the 2nd hop for that?
They're using multiple providers including Fastly, Akamai and Cloudflare: https://www.streamingmediablog.com/2021/06/apple-private-rel...
This is only HTTP and not HTTPS traffic, which most www traffic is these days.
