I am using Cloudflare as a back-end and only using workers (can disable all their security, performance, caching, and whatever stuff they offer; which is really just a worker). The product (workers) is differentiated and I don't think there is any company/service out there that is offering an equivalent.

I do not think that's the author complaint, though. I frequently get these cloudflare captachas and it is why I disabled their firewall (it's pure garbage) for my own sites. Cloudflare does not have any monopoly over the services you mentioned (workers, tunnels, images, etc.) but they do have a kind-of-monopoly over DNS/CDN.
