Hmm, almost like what happend to the internet... the idea being "everything is decentralized", but now +80% of traffic passes through Cloudflare and over 90% of mails come from 2 providers!

Cloudflare absolutely does not control 80% of internet traffic. I have no idea where you got that number from.
This article says 80% of known websites, which are 19% of all websites. Probably where it came from.

That's still the number of websites, not their traffic. A personal blog hosted on Cloudflare and google.com are not both the same.
Probably that just skews it worse though. Most people aren't cf customers but many of the big targets seek protection
