> CF could probably get a lot more customers if they would allow you to use custom nameservers for your domain.

Why would they want that? The whole point of CF as a registrar was so you could use the other services. The registrar is sold at cost. It's a way to lock you in.

It would lower the barrier to switch to Cloudflare for new customers, and once they are inside with a credit card on file it’s arguably easier to explore their product offerings

It's already "free". How much lower should it be?

So that's not the use of the domains. It's to make it easier / lock in existing customers.
