Now obviously my comment is not about "just a CDN provider" right?

The SSL stuff that Cloudflare offers to protect your websites/APIs etc so you don't have to, their DNS products. The fact that iCloud Private Relay uses Cloudflare under the hood (and so all browsing there happens through their gateways etc).

I mean, if it's just the case that you've drank that much of the Cloudflare Kool aid that Akamai, AWS, and GCP don't have competing options in your mind, then that's a different problem entirety. Good for Cloudflare's wallet, and kudos to their marketing team though.
